The award recognizes the best non-fiction work focusing on genocide, crimes against humanity and other gross human rights violations, and on strategies of prevention. This year’s award winner is Sabine F. Cadeau, for her work, <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/more-than-a-massacre/6CD7AA4DC466D44D23F3C9BB1CDE55B1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More Than a Massacre: Racial Violence and Citizenship in the Haitian-Dominican Borderlands</a>.Sabine Cadeau is a historian of Modern Latin America and the Caribbean. Her research and teaching interests include the early modern Atlantic World as well as modern Latin American and Caribbean history. Her first book More Than a Massacre: Racial Violence and Citizenship in the Haitian-Dominican borderlands was published by the University of Cambridge Press Afro-Latin America series. The book traces a successively worsening campaign of explicitly racialized anti-Haitian repression that began in 1919 under the American occupiers, accelerated in 1930, with the rise of Trujillo, and culminated in 1937 with the slaughter of an estimated twenty thousand civilians. More than a Massacre reframes the 1937 Haitian Massacre as a genocide and demonstrates the importance of this event for understanding statelessness and citizenship in the twentieth century. T﻿his event will be in person and live streamed. F﻿or any questions please contact Program Coordinator, Bruna Celic, bruna.celic@yu.edu
