The Kwazman Vwa collective has been buzzing about Grace Sanders Johnson’s recent monograph, White Gloves, Black Nation: Women, Citizenship, and Political Wayfaring in Haiti (published with University of Carolina Press in 2023) — and we’re not the only ones: the book has already garnered the 2023 Haitian Studies Association Book Prize. Following the transatlantic trajectories of elite and middle-class Haitian women during and after the American occupation (1915-1934), Sanders Johnson illuminates what modern Haitian identity owes to these women’s radical activism. The event will be held in English, via Zoom. Register below for the link.
