Michael Roper, author of Afterlives of War: A Descendants' History:
In a compelling mixture of theory, reflections on method, and vivid vignettes, Feeling Memory explores the emotions that animate and bind memory in oral history. Its insights extend well beyond the interview, however: Dodd shows what a history of emotions can achieve once affect is seen not just in terms of social prescriptions but as the glue that binds memory and relationships past and present.

Kathleen C. Stewart, author of Ordinary Affects:
Feeling Memory theorizes a history of a present where events matter, memories stick and accrete, time ruptures, experiences generate, and little worlds proliferate around sounds, rhythms, and things. It experiments, listening for the intensities and unknown potential of an affective history from the inside out where the things of the world speak differently to one another.

Shannon L. Fogg, author of Stealing Home: Looting, Restitution, and Reconstructing Jewish Lives in France, 1942-1947:
Feeling Memory deftly weaves together 'memory stories' and the latest scholarship to provide an entirely fresh approach to World War II in France. The result is a richly textured, nuanced study of the emotions of history that offers us new ways to think about children’s experiences and the places and events that shape our memory of the past.

Alessandro Portelli, author of The Text and the Voice: Writing, Speaking, Democracy, and American Literature:
A sensitive and imaginative exploration of the connections among war, childhood, and memory that demonstrates the meaning of emotions and feelings as historical forces.
