From the reviews:

"The book is organized into five major sections including 19 chapters prepared by an international team of authors. … This book, no doubt, will be very useful for biochemists, biophysics, molecular biologists, and biotechnologists. It will also serve as an additional source for students and teachers of universities and colleges that are involved in preparation of experts in NBI." (G. Ya. Wiederschain, Biochemistry, Vol. 74 (1), 2009)

'Such an anthology is certainly overdue, as studies of sexuality have tended to focus on queer experiences...an exciting and interesting addition to the historiography of premodern sexuality.' - Emma Hawkes, Parergon

'This collection of essays is helpful to those who would appreciate an overview on how different academic fields investigate the 'material culture' of sex, marriage and procreation. The necessity of such a project for further historical studies cannot be emphasized enough.' - Medical History

"Michael Y. Bennett's new book, Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd, is an ambitious text fifty years in the making . . . [It] is a terrific first book. Bennett's bravery in challenging the theoretical canon is a great example to follow." - Journal of Modern Literature

"In Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd: Camus, Beckett, Ionesco, Genet, and Pinter, Michael Y. Bennett turns Esslin's text on its head to offer more nuanced, more hopeful analyses of these canonical playwrights . . . Not only does he offer provocative, convincing readings of these plays, he also broadens his analysis to include works by contemporaries of the original 'absurdists,' and by those of different historical moments and/or gender. This move not only extends his interpretive framework beyond the oft covered territory that is the focus of this book, it also extends the life of his analysis. Bennett's work is strengthened by the fact that his writing style is approachable and his work well signposted." - Theatre Survey

"[Bennett] offers a number of intriguing and insightful readings of these [absurdist] plays and playwrights . . . Throughout [Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd], Bennett is effectively practicing a structural model of reading these works traditionally labeled as 'Absurdist,' and his reassessment of the Theatre of the Absurd through the lens of parable offers a unique new vision of these well-studied works. Undoubtedly, Bennett's analyses will prove intriguing for the theatre or literature scholar interested in the Theatre of the Absurd." - Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism

"The plays discussed by Esslin and Bennett, including their works - The Theatre of the Absurd and Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd respectively - make a 'double reed flute' . . . To the audiences used to listening to the melody that echoes the experimentations in the domain of dramaturgy and theatre art of the 1940s and 1950s in Europe, Bennett's work secretly tells them to listen to another melody. The melody that Bennett is trying to make us hear tells that beyond the moribund situation in our life and society, there is always hope . . . Bennett and Esslin do not replace each other but form a cohort . . . With one end we listen to a melody composed in 1960s, and from another end, we listen to the one orchestrated by a very talented theater critic from the young generation of our times." - Journal of Philosophy: A Cross-Disciplinary Inquiry

"In the chapters following the introductory debates, Bennett moves . . . to a more detailed examination of each individual play, and in this scrupulous analysis, I believe, lies the strength of this critical study . . . I applaud the author's attempts at vigorous reassessment of standard idioms and traditional methodologies in broadening an established canon of absurdist drama." - Text & Presentation

“The scope of the book is broad, discussing both physical mobilities and their representations – cultural meanings attached to moving in space or inability to do so. … The volume is worth reading as an important addition to the scholarship on mobilities as well as to the studies of socialist and post-socialist societies. It deals with under-researched issues like gender and &nbsp;ethnicity.” (Mariusz Jastrząb, The Journal of Transport History, Vol. 38 (2), 2018)

“Sexual Violence in Western Thought and Culture is Vitanza’s attempt to work through the complexities of sexual violence as a cultural practice that pervades Western thinking, reading, and writing. … anyone who thinks, reads, and writes about Western civilization in any capacity would be well served by reading it. The analysis of writing and thought in Western civilization make it particularly relevant to scholars of rhetoric, philosophy, media, trauma, rape, and rape culture.” (Ryan Skinnell, enculturation, enculturation.net, May, 2016)

'In this remarkable book, Valiani looks at the horrific 'saffron' violence of Gujarat in 2002 squarely in the eye and sets out to understand through first-hand encounters with participants how disciplined physical training not only makes tragedy possible but also shapes moral dispositions, new forms of sociality, and civic engagement. In the archival-based historical chapters, he shows us the roots of this training in the nationalist movement and the permeability between Gandhian practice and the violence of the Hindu Right. This absorbing study is a major contribution to understanding modern political life in India.' Barbara D. Metcalf, author of Husain Ahmad Madani: The Jihad for Islam and India's Freedom (2009) and president of the American Historical Association (2010)

'Valiani draws on rich and extensive fieldwork to theorize a series of unexpected links between Mahatma Gandhi, bodily self-fashioning, and performative politics with erudition and verve. He attributes contemporary Hindu nationalism, and the violence of contemporary electoral politics in India more generally, to the unintended (and unacknowledged) outcome of these elements. This is a bold intervention in the debates on democratization that will reward its readers with a distinctive and illuminating interpretation of the persistence of Hindu nationalism in western India.' Arvind Rajagopal, professor of Media Studies and affiliated faculty in the Departments of Sociology and Social and Cultural ANALYSIS, New York University and author of Politics After Television: Hindu Nationalism and the Reshaping of the Public in India

'Subtle yet powerful. By demonstrating the ways that physical training is embedded within local communities and the meanings that therefore adhere to such practices, Valiani enables us to come away with a much different understanding of how and why communal violence occurs. This has dramatic implications for those who seek to combat communal violence, as well as for those interested in collective violence in contexts other than India.' Lisa Mitchell, assistant professor of South Asia Studies, University of Pennsylvania and author of language, Emotion, and Politics in South India: The Making of a Mother Tongue

"Valiani's timely and important study of Hindu militancy in western India provides invaluable background for understanding the communal violence in Gujarat of recent decades. Valiani gives us an unprecedented look at the way Hindu nationalist movements have linked physical training and discipline with religious mobilization and organization. His nuanced and wide-ranging historical ethnography not only contextualizes the rise of communal violence in India, it affords an astonishing inside view of the way the movement inducts and shapes its trainees." - Nicholas B. Dirks, Franz Boas Professor of Anthropology and History and executive vice president for Arts and Sciences, Columbia University
