During Wind and Rain Reviewed in Arkansas Review

"One of the many strengths of Bolsterli's writing is her deft handling of the contradictions inherent in her life and history, and in the Delta itself. current members of the family, like many of their fellow Southerners, freely admit to romanticizing times past that were grueling and often tragic for those who lived through them. Like many white Southerners she is both proud and ashamed of what has made her. She fiercely loves the farm but is haunted by the pain of knowing it couldn't have existed without the systematic exploitation of slaves and their descendants, some of whom are driving tractors in the Delta today."
--Arkansas Review, April 2009

Thank you, Fort Smith Public Library!

The UA Press loves the Fort Smith Public Library! We work with Jeanne Pillar, the circulation supervisor, who has hosted several of our authors at the library's Food For Thought program, held the third Friday of each month at noon. Our authors have unfailingly had a wonderful time, with a reliable turnout of loyal and interested patrons ensuring great discussions. To make it extra special, the mayor even gives the featured author the key to the city! This month, Roy Reed will be the at the library on June 19th. Thank you Jeanne and FSPL!

Law and History Review reviews There When We Needed Him

"Kilpatrick's book touches on historiographic themes of interest to African-American legal, political, and social historians . . . contributes to a growing literature on the overlooked but pivotal role less-prominent leaders played in the civil rights movement."
--Law and History Review, Summer 2009
