One of Our Own is an L.A. Times Book Prize Finalist


Congratulations to one of our recent additions to this blog, Amy Wood, for being one of five finalists for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History. Her book, Lynching and Spectacle: Witnessing Racial Violence in America, 1890-1940, is up against some pretty steep competition. But what an honor!

S-USIH Comment Policy

We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.

  1. Excellent! I’ll look forward to the commentary in the LA Times. My grandma’s been a devoted reader for many decades.
