Reviews
Review in Terrain:
“Wilder has carved her place as a woman rancher over a lifetime, in many contexts, but the toughness required by that lifestyle coexists with softness. . . . It’s a treat to revel in this book’s potent mix of family and place—each an analog for the other, and like Wilder herself, ‘strong except sometimes.'”
Review in Asian Journal of Social Science:
“What stands out in this ethnography is the complex texture of everyday life in this border world at the edge of the forest, which contains moments of uncertainty and fear, but also humor and fun.”
Review in Journal of Modern History:
“Making Space will be essential reading for scholars and students of immigration, urban policy, and how France’s colonial legacies continue to shape municipal realities.”
Too Good to Be Altogether Lost
Review in Missouri Historical Review:
“Hill’s Too Good to Be Altogether Lost is a well-written and engaging study of Wilder’s series.”
Review in Missouri Historical Review:
“Drawing on personal interviews with former players such as Len Dawson, Buck Buchanan, and Otis Taylor as well as newspaper archives, Gosselin takes readers back to Lamar Hunt’s quest to own a football team.”
Review in Ethnohistory:
“The strengths of Bribed with Our Own Money lie not only in the number of case studies that Beck has assembled in one volume but also in Beck’s decades-long career as a community-engaged scholar.”
Review in H-France:
“Bloom’s writing style is clear and conveys a strong sense of interpretative purpose. Carefully crafted syntax and generous use of descriptive paraphrase, interwoven with abundant quotations from the historical texts, turn the book itself into a mosaic-like tribute to the richly articulated worlds that it explores.”
