Review in The Boston Globe:
“Overall, Race and Resistance in Boston has something for every local sports lover who is also conscious about justice. These compelling stories about race, class, and sexuality add to Boston’s legacy as a city of deep cultural and sports history.”
Review in The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books:
“The variety of sports covered in the book was also impressive – baseball, hockey, basketball, cricket, tennis and golf are just a few of the sports in which Boston-based Black athletes made contributions to both their sport and the fight for equality. That was the biggest takeaway I had with this book – the sheer number of unknown athletes whose contributions have been lost in time.”
Review in The Sports Bookie:
“A Giant Among Giants is a quick, easy read. The reader benefits from Haft’s research and interviews with key people in McCovey’s life.”
Review in The Journal of America’s Military Past:
“It is a sturdy, beautifully-illustrated book, including maps and bibliography, that will be indispensable to anyone with an interest in the military history of the Northern Plains. In this edition the author goes beyond the well-known sites to include smaller camps and posts of various sorts, and even ranks them to help the visitor decide whether it is worth his while.”
Review in Nebraska History:
“Jeff Barnes has produced a comprehensive history guide to the Northern Plains forts, including extensive information for the traveler visiting each site. This is the premier book of its kind published to date.”
Review in Strange Horizons:
“Abu Bakr Sadiq has established himself as a speculative poet who uses speculation as a didactic tool in examining the most inevitable human feeling that people of all classes experience—loss.”
Review in Akpata Magazine:
“Imagine walking through a charred forest that still smells of fresh rain—a paradox where destruction and hope meet, intertwining like roots and ash, Abu Bakr Sadiq’s poetry collection, Leaked Footages, reverberates with such depth of vulnerability that endears its reader(s) with an intimacy born of conflict, survival, and endurance.”
Review in Thoughts From the Mountain Top:
“Growing up, both in school and at home I was always told that after World War II, the Germans did a great job reckoning with their past and it was something we could learn from in the United States. After reading Nazis at the Watercooler, I realize that was a lie. Both the new West German government and the United States were complicit in protecting war criminals.”
Review in QUEST:
“This book is one that could engage students and be used for a high school or college freshman level course on space history and, hopefully, serve as a gateway to more in-depth studies. The authors should be commended for concisely charting a path through dozens of topics and telling interesting stories.”
The Education of Clarence Three Stars
Review in Nebraska History:
“As a reader of many Lakota and other Native American books, I enjoyed learning about Clarence. The author’s command of language (including some Lakota words) and ability to create a mood helps move the reader along. I highly recommend this book and will be using it as a reference.”
Review in Kittling: Books:
“If you grew up watching Westerns in movie theaters or on television, like I did, you’re bound to find Twisting in Air fascinating. Carol Bradley’s book is an absorbing look at the early dark history of stunt horses in movies, to its heyday, and on to the present day.”
