Reviews

Emily C. Bartels, Professor of English, Rutgers University:
'An important contribution to early modern studies, Strangers in Blood argues for the primacy of bloodlines to evolving conceptions of race. Rich in its attention to language, and to a well-chosen range of historical and literary representations, Feerick's remarkably well-written, persuasive, and original book emphasizes the perceived instability of early modern racial identities, their vulnerability especially to the conditions of transplantation, culture, time, and space.'
