Review Quotes

Reading this volume is entering a space in which dialogue and reflection across subfields happens. The reader gets an expanded toolbox full of methods, a jewel box full of ideas, and an angel on the right shoulder giving hints for ethical conversing with each other and representing the other in our writing. This sort of work will strengthen the survival chances of the Humanities!
