Review Quotes: [O]ne of the most important studies of early medieval identity published in the past twenty years. . . . This monograph is not only impeccably researched and forcefully argued, but it also has the rare (and hopefully increasingly common) quality in medieval scholarship of being unequivocally important. As medieval studies (and Anglo-American society more broadly) attempts to confront its own colonial and racialized past, Catherine Karkov has identified a good place to start.-- "COMITATUS"
