Seven IU Press books have recently been reviewed by The American Historical Review:

The Shoah in Ukraine
"Overall this collection is a worthy enterprise that offers new insights into the Holocaust on the territory of contemporary Ukraine. ...The investigation of the Holocaust in Ukraine, as well as in Belarus to the north where some 900,000 Jews died, is finally under way." —David R. Marples, University of Alberta

A Russian Merchant's Tale
"...Tolchënov's Journal has found a fluid interpreter in David L. Ransel, whose patient, knowing analysis illuminates the many gems the diary has to offer and thereby lights up many potential paths for future research." —John Randolph, University of Illinois, Urbana‐Champaign

Orthodox Jews in America
"...Gurock is the unrivaled expert on Orthodox Jews and Judaism in the United States, something he proves ably with this book." —Lila Corwin Berman, Temple University

Indian Secularism
"...Tejani draws our attention to the evolution of secularism as a political concept in colonial India, and to the often unexpected conceptual anchors that continue to exert a determinative, though hidden, influence over secular politics up to the present day." —Sriripa Roy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Africa's Freedom Railway
"This insightful account of transnational infrastructure cooperation will no doubt be welcome reading not only for academics and students, but most importantly for African leaders who have to make critical development choices for the benefit of their own people." —Peter A. Dumbuya, Fort Valley State University

Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire
"Veidlinger is to be congratulated for having produced a compelling and important study on a cultural development that transformed East European Jewry and that has been crucial in the history of world Jewry over the past century. It is hard to conceive of the various tendencies of present-day Zionism and of other contemporary cultural and political trends—in Israel and among Jewish communities elsewhere—without the emergence of a Jewish public culture in the late Russian Empire." —Abraham Ascher, Graduate Center, City University of New York

Music and Wonder at the Medici Court
"With this work, Nina Treadwell becomes the first music historian to explore the significance of the 1589 Florentine court intermedi—multimedia extravaganzas performed between the acts of a comedy—as musico‐theatrical works in their own right." —Barbara Russano Hanning, City College of New York, and The Graduate Center, City University of New York
