Selected Misdemeanors

Review in CSU’s Center for Literary Publishing:

“Silverman handles the memories and the ’emotional misdemeanors’ of her former self with a razor-sharp clarity but one without shame.”

Informal Metropolis

Review in The Latin Americanist:

“…Yee raises vital questions and provides a compelling analysis of spatial segregation, inequality, and the contested history of housing in Mexico City. His work dismantles persistent myths about Neza and reframes it as a product of policy, politics, and power, rather than precarious living conditions alone.”

Victory in Shanghai

Review in International Examiner:

“At a time when the U.S. immigration establishment seems to be reverting to the exclusionary policies of the past, Victory in Shanghai reminds us of the mostly anonymous millions who made this country great in the first place.”

Indigenous Enlightenment

Review in Journal of British Studies:

“McKee’s Indigenous Enlightenment provides rich details of how technologies of printing were introduced in colonial spaces in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries . . . it will be of most interest to historians of printing and media history, and it will provide historians of education and imperialism with some interesting material.”

In the Japanese Ballpark

Review in Trevor’s Window into Japan:

“Rob Fitts is also worthy of our extolment for compiling this great work.”

The Perils of Girlhood

Review in The Linden Review:

“Melissa Fraterrigo’s The Perils of Girlhood is a thought-provoking exploration of the many challenges faced by girls and women living in the United States. Written with a deft skill for figurative language and experimental structures like collage and braiding, Fraterrigo’s memoir in twenty essays spans most of her life, starting from the 1980s.”

Bummerland

Review in Kirkus Reviews:

“A fine book to carry to the barricades.”

Disintegrating Empire

Review in American Historical Reviews:

“At the end of the day, Franklin offers a crucial study of the racial policies at the heart of French welfare state and, in the process, makes an important addition to a growing scholarship on racial exclusions built into postwar European states more broadly.”
