Staff Picks – September 2024

Every month, we bring you a unique selection of our books chosen by one of our SIU Press staff members. This month, we’re featuring picks from Kristine Priddy, Acquisitions Editor and Rights and Permissions Manager. Kristine said, “It is so hard to narrow down my list of recommendations for SIU Press books that readers might want to check out, but here it is.”
