Reviews

Who Gets to Go Back-to-the-Land?

Review in H-Net Reviews:

“In her careful and rigorous study, which spans nearly a century, Padilla Carroll balances the central location of whiteness and patriarchy in representations of back-to-the-land communities as they travel through print culture…”

Gendered Citizenship

Review in The Journal of American History:

“Rebecca DeWolf traces the origins and development of the equal rights amendment (ERA) in considerable and enlightening depth, from its inception immediately following the Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification to the passage of the Equal Pay Act (1963), a federal statute that fell far short of the comprehensive vision of constitutional equality long envisioned by the ERA’s proponents.”

Review in Nebraska Public Media:

“It’s tone and style reminded me of Mari Sandoz. An unflinching eye on the difficulties of making a life as a homesteader and a style that was less about creating art than about documenting history.”

Agents of Empire

Review in Civil War Books and Authors:

“Civil War military history readers should always resolve to venture outside traditional comfort zones every once in a while, and they can certainly do that through the education lessons offered inside James Jewell’s highly original and praiseworthy scholarship.”
