Donna Gabaccia: Global Scholar and Feminist Mentor Par Excellence
One of the ironies of tributes is that a singular focus on a celebrated scholar's charisma and pioneering role in establishing a field of study can obscure the wider community of people who also mattered. In highlighting the very real accomplishments of the celebrated scholar, tributes can mask even the honoree's own commitment to collaborative work. It would be highly ironic if a scholar with such an outstanding reputation for collaboration were to be rendered unrecognizable to herself because of an excessive focus on her individual attributes and achievements. Here, Iacovetta discusses Donna Gabaccia's impact on the history of migration, gender, and food studies.
Journal Article
Social Sciences
Hundreds of murderers, both well known (Jack the Ripper, H.H. Holmes) and those who may be less recognizable, are profiled, with a brief retelling of their life and crimes, photographs, maps of key sites, and categorization of each profile by type of murder (infanticide, sexual, political) and method of investigation (crime scene photograph, fingerprint analysis). In her book, the author reviews the neuroscience of trauma, explains how to recognize trauma in school children, and provides suggestions for teachers to help children process their feelings through routine interactions, games, and group exercises. [...]more editorial oversight would have created an easier-to-read work; chapters often repeat information and even illustrations from earlier sections. [...]a passive voice dominates the writing and research citations contain distracting superlatives.
