Comment: GoogleScholar is notoriously bad in fishing out citations in humanities ( mentions this) and one should look at things like book reviews and book library holdings as more reliable indicators of notability for such cases (again, per ). In this case I checked two of his five books in WorldCat. The book "Exotic journeys: exploring the erotics of U.S. travel literature, 1840-1930" returns not just the book listing but also 6 reviews of the book in academic journals listed in WorldCathttp://www.worldcat.org/search?q=ti%3AExotic+Journeys%3A+Exploring+the+Erotics+of+U.S.+Travel+Literature&qt=advanced (which is already fairly unusual). The book is widely held in academic libraries (in the U.S. WorldCat lists 179 libraries holding the bookhttp://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45363263&referer=brief_results).  The second book, "Gothic passages: racial ambiguity and the American gothic" produces even more impressive results in WorldCat. Again, 6 reviews of the book in academic journals listed therehttp://www.worldcat.org/search?q=ti%3AGothic+Passages%3A+Racial+Ambiguity+and+the+American+Gothic+&qt=advanced. According to WorldCat, the book is held by 594 libraries (most are acdemic libraries) in the U.S. alonehttp://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49559013&referer=brief_results. These are extremely high results for an academic book on any subject. Passes

Comment: per Nsk92. Quote : ''It is important to note that it is very difficult to make clear requirements in terms of numbers of publications or their quality: the criteria, in practice, vary greatly by field.'' I find the idea of "5 reviews is nuff, but if you only have 3, we'll finish you off" highly disturbing. And, concerning the validity of library holdings as an indicator: is it not better to be false positive than false negative
