I Make Envy on Your Disco

Review in GQ:

“It’s a comforting, elegantly-written reminder that there’s life after twink death.”

Women, Empires, and Body Politics at the United Nations, 1946–1975

Review in Comparativ:

“[Women, Empires, and Body Politics at the United Nations, 1946-1975 is] useful to historians of women and gender history in an international context but also a good demonstration of the value of UN commissions as terrains to dive into the history of international organizations.”

The Perils of Girlhood

Review in MER:

“Fraterrigo’s memoir in essays explores how the inevitability of aging and death impacts one’s coming of age, work life, pregnancy, and parenting. For Fraterrigo, the most perilous part of girlhood is that it ends.”

The Spring before Obergefell

Review in Midwest Book Review:

“Eloquent, memorable, deftly crafted, thought-provoking.”

The Whiz Kids

Review in The Sports Bookie:

“Snelling’s prose is precise, and his notes at the end of the book are a delight.”

Black Robes Enter Coyote’s World

Review in Flathead Beacon:

“When a history book includes a foreword written by the subject’s descendants, it signals that the author’s standard of accuracy goes beyond mere approval-seeking. It also serves as a poignant reminder that, although history is often contextualized as a series of sanitized dates, places, and names trapped in a distant era, what occurred in the past has ramifications today.”

Losing Eden

Review in Great Plains Research:

“’At what cost?’ This question serves as a structural refrain in Sara Dant’s stunning new edition of Losing Eden, a comprehensive survey of the American West’s environmental history from prehistoric times to the present day. Losing Eden mandates a rethinking of American history.”

Truth and Power in American Archaeology

Review in American Archaeology Magazine:

“Her consciousness-raising book, while not light reading, is about archaeology as a historical science, and shines a critical light on the unacknowledged colonialist attitudes that still permeate the discipline and the broad range of data and interpretation that American archaeology should embrace.”

Mediating Violence from Africa

Review in the French Review:

“A rich study that will interest scholars of francophone postcolonial studies, African literature and film, trauma studies, and media studies. It proposes thought-provoking new ways of reading canonical and popular works, making it not only a valuable resource for scholars but also highly readable and useful in the classroom.”
