Review by Choice Review

​​Transformative Digital Humanities discusses current work in the digital humanities (DH) realm. It comprises thoughtfully curated essays on topics that are currently at the fore of many institutional conversations, among them inclusion, ​sustainability, accessibility, interdisciplinarity, representation, and funding. The contributors have wide-ranging and diverse backgrounds, and together they capture the broad scope of the DH field. This critical​ ​investigation of DH highlights specific projects that have intentionally shifted away from traditional DH practices to create a field of radically new scholarship​. ​​In dismantling traditional norms that have become associated with DH, the volume makes way for new research areas and ideas that may be constructively challenging. The collection includes both theor​etical and practic​al work. Each essay is meticulously researched, and substantial bibliographies offer an abundance of material for scholars. This collection will be most valuable for those already working in DH and are familiar with its foundational principles and traditional practices. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty. --Christina Huffaker, Utica College
