Review Highlights

Title: Formative Feasting: Practices and Virtue Ethics in Deuteronomy’s Tithe Meal and the Corinthian Lord’s Supper by Michael J. Rhodes

Title: Frank French Feminisms: Sex, Sexuality and the Body in the Work of Ernaux, Huston and Arcan by Polly Galis

Review by: Joëlle Papillon, McMaster University

“That said, what Galis accomplishes is significant. The analyses are compelling and speak well to one another. Although all three writers studied now have considerable scholarship dedicated to them, Frank French Feminisms offers new insights on the works of Ernaux, Huston, and Arcan.”

Title: Sounds of Apocalypse. Music in Poland Under German Occupation by Katarzyna Naliwajek

Review by: Lesley Hughes, Sam Houston State University

“To my knowledge, her monograph is the first comprehensive, English-language work on the role of music in Poland during the German Occupation, making this topic accessible to a much wider audience. Her study will be a useful resource for historians and musicologists, and the broad scope of her work will doubtless provide many entry points for further research on this topic.”

Title : Head Game. Mental Health in Sports Media

Review by: Mahdi Latififard, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran

“Emphasizing the control of both favorable and unfavorable consequences stemming from the public disclosure of athletes’ mental health issues through mass and modern media channels, Head Game provides readers with a nuanced perspective on elite athletes’ psychological struggles blending with the context of media outlets.”
