AWARD WINNING TITLES & AUTHORS

Twenty-five years ago, Mark D. Jordan published his landmark book on the invention and early history of the category “sodomy,” one that helped to decriminalize certain sexual acts in the United States and to remove the word sodomy from the updated version of a standard English translation of the Christian Bible. In Queer Callings, Jordan extends the same kind of illuminating critical analysis to present uses of “identity” with regard to sexual difference. While the stakes might not seem as high, he acknowledges, his newest history of sexuality is just as vital to a better present and future.

Winner, Victorian Society in America Book Award

Winner, 2024 Pubilcation Prize, FRIENDS of the Upper East Side Historic Districts

Jacob Wrey Mould is not a name that readily comes to mind when we think of New York City archi­tecture. Yet he was one-third of the party responsible for the early development of the city’s Central Park. To this day, his sculptural reliefs, tile work, and structures in the Park enthrall visitors. Mould introduced High Victorian architecture to NYC, his fingerprint most pronounced in his striking and colorful ornamental designs and beautiful embellishments found in the carved decorations and mosaics at the Bethesda Terrace. Resurfacing the forgotten contributions of Mould, Hell on Color, Sweet on Song presents a study of this nineteenth-century American architect and musical genius.

Shortlisted for the SLSA Socio-Legal Theory and History Prize and The Hart–SLSA Book Prize

Spectacles and Specters draws on theories of performativity to conceptualize the entanglements of law and political violence, offering a radical departure from accounts that consider political trials as instrumental in exercising or containing political violence. Legal scholar Başak Ertür argues instead that making sense of the often incalculable interpenetrations of law, politics, and violence in trials requires shifting the focus away from law’s instrumentality to its performativity.

Winner, Helen and Howard R. Marraro Prize in Italian History

"Franco Baldasso’s Against Redemption expertly addresses the Italian literary scene after the fall of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime at the end of the Second World War.  His examination of authors like Carlo Levi, Vitaliano Brancati, Giuseppe Berto, and Curzio Malaparte presents challenges, nuance, and new vistas to the dominant Neorealist and Resistance literature of the postwar years.  Based on impressive research and convincingly argued, Baldasso’s work alters how we consider collective memory in the transition from Fascist to post-Fascist Italy."
