Africana faculty member Grace Sanders Johnson’s first sole-authored book, “White Gloves, Black Nation: Women, Citizenship, and Political Wayfaring in Haiti” (University of North Carolina Press) is now a finalist for the 2024 Pauli Murray Book Prize in Black Intellectual History.
“White Gloves, Black Nation”, was published in 2023 and previously won the 2023 Haitian Studies Association Book Prize. Described as an "ambitious transnational history," the book considers Haitian women's political life during and after the United States occupation of Haiti (1915-1934).
