Diane Batts Morrow |
Diane Batts Morrow, associate
professor of history and African-American studies, received the
Distinguished Book Award from the Conference on the History of Women
Religious for her work Persons of
Color and Religious at the Same Time: The Oblate Sisters of Providence,
1828-1860.
The citation reads, in part, “Diane Batts Morrow, working
from limited archival sources, crafts a delicate and sophisticated
analysis of the interlocking themes of race, gender, class, religion
and ethnicity . . . to explain the nuances of the interaction between
the Sisters’ race and their French identity within the socially
constructed parameters of color in Southern society.”
This is the second award Morrow’s book has received. In 2002
the Association of Black Women Historians honored it with its Letitia
Woods Brown Memorial Publication Prize for the Best Book on Black
Women’s History.
James K. Reap, public service
associate in the College of Environment and Design and Fellow in
