Huber, H: Sleep Fictions Rest and Its Deprivations in Progressive-Era Literature

"An original and valuable contribution to contemporary debates about sleep and the values we attach to it in cultural contexts. There is a rewarding emphasis on the politics of sleep--that is, on the way our sleep lives are shaped, and in some cases distorted, by power relations. Huber's focus on sleep and race is particularly original. This is under-explored territory, and the author's emphasis couldn't be more timely."--Michael Greaney, author of Sleep and the Novel: Fictions of Somnolence from Jane Austen to the Present
