Professor Rachel Jean-Baptiste receives The Martin A. Klein Prize in African History from AHA

The Martin A. Klein Prize in African History recognizes the most distinguished work of scholarship on African history published in English during the previous calendar year. The books must focus primarily on continental Africa (including those islands usually treated as countries of Africa). Eligibility will otherwise be defined quite broadly, to include books on any period of African history and from any disciplinary field that incorporates an historical perspective.

Professor Jean-Baptiste was awarded this prize for her book Multiracial Identities in Colonial French Africa: Race, Childhood, and Citizenship.
