"Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016 is a great collection of current thinking by practitioners, theorists, enthusiasts, and skeptics, bringing DH into dialogue with critical race studies, queer theory, institutional politics, and disciplinary concerns in every area of the humanities."-Johanna Drucker, University of California, Los Angeles"Even if digital humanities “names itself”, it has been one of the most successfully adopted labels in academia, and this annual selection proves once more that the collection can be heterogeneous in both content and formats, including commissioned interviews and position statements."-Neural"Represents a conscious effort to chart the future course of the digital humanities as one of inclusion and dialogue rather than clearly delimited disciplinary lines-at a time in history when our polarized societal debates tend to fluctuate between the drive to build walls and the need, instead, to extend bridges."-Cincinnati Romance Review"Gold and Klein present reflections on many pressing issues in DH, and do not shy away from incorporating divergent positions. As its precursor did in 2012, Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016 is sure to become a frequently referenced resource for those working in, or interested by, the field." -Canadian Literature
