Historians in the Newstags: slavery, history
Congratulations to Rice University historian Caleb McDaniel for winning a Pulitzer for Sweet Taste of Liberty: A True Story of Slavery and Restitution in America.
The committee described McDaniel’s work as “A masterfully researched meditation on reparations based on the remarkable story of a 19th century woman who survived kidnapping and re-enslavement to sue her captor.”
The two other finalists were:
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership (UNC Press) and Greg Grandin, The End of Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America (Metropolitan Books).
