Reviews
Review in New Mexico Historical Review:
“The notes and bibliography may be one of the greatest gifts to future researchers of the subject, especially graduate students seeking out new histories to reveal or familiar stories to reinterpret. Deutsch’s work is a welcome and important addition to the field and deserves a place on the shelf of all historians of the American West.”
On the Overland Trails with William Clark
Review in Overland Journal:
“Modern readers will find the work both entertaining and informative.”
The Education of Clarence Three Stars
Review in Tribal College Journal:
“Burnham’s text celebrates the life of a Native American man who is, to draw from the book’s preface, neither a warrior nor a hopeless victim. . . . The text is a must-read for scholars of modern American history.”
Review in Epoch Literary:
“In Death Does Not End at the Sea, Adesina has crafted a book that is both elegy and invocation, archive and prophecy. His language is lush yet disciplined, his images devastating yet tender.”
Review in Anthropos Review:
“My Grandfather’s Altar is a compelling and enlightening read that honors the legacy of Lakota spirituality while addressing contemporary issues faced by Indigenous communities.”
Review in New Mexico Historical Review:
“Hill successfully demonstrates how women in roles of leadership were key to promoting the United States’ vision of settlement and conquest.”
Review in American Historical Review:
“Indigenous Sacraments is an excellent work of scholarship that contributes in significant ways to a better understanding of the dynamics established between European colonizers and Indigenous peoples in the fringes of Spanish America.
Review in Early Modern Women:
“This is a stimulating volume that brings much new work to light and is punctuated by implicit reminders of the ongoing challenges of exclusionist discourses.”
