Review

"For students to have a say in the world in which they live is a necessity. They give voice to specific challenges and hopes imposed or otherwise overlooked by those to whom we (too often uncritically) depend upon to narrate the world on our behalf. Future generations will look to stories of the past to help make sense of the world they've inherited. The contributors to Critical Storytelling in Millennial Times offer some critical insights to such a project that will be invaluable in the work of describing our "now" then. These undergraduates - by sharing their stories of struggle with identity, university demands, and how to cope - expertly take up the incredibly important work of telling their own rather than waiting for their stories to be told and, in the process, making history ...." - A. D. Carson, Assistant Professor of Hip Hop and the Global South, University of Virginia
