L'ouvrage inclut un index bienvenu, même si les sujets très vastes abordés tout au long des différents chapitres ne permettent finalement qu'assez peu de croisement des thèmes abordés. L'on notera toutefois que les différents auteurs font l'effort de tisser des liens notionnels entre plusieurs chapitres, ce qui permet d'approfondir la lecture en dépassant la simple juxtaposition d'études ponctuelles. "(The book includes a welcome index, even though the broad topics addressed across the various chapters ultimately allow for relatively little thematic crossover. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the different authors make an effort to weave conceptual connections between several chapters, enabling a deeper reading that moves beyond the mere juxtaposition of isolated case studies.)
