The Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) Announces 2020 Andrés Ramos Mattei-Neville Hall Article Prize Winner: “The Twilight of Popular Revolutions: The Suppression of Peasant Armed Struggles and Freedom in Rural Haiti during the US Occupation, 1915-1934,” by Marvin Chochotte
We are honored to announce that Marvin Chochotte was awarded the ACH’s 2020 Andrés Ramos Mattei-Neville Hall Article Prize for “The Twilight of Popular Revolutions: The Suppression of Peasant Armed Struggles and Freedom in Rural Haiti during the US Occupation, 1915-1934,” published in The Journal of African American History (Summer 2018).
The prize recognizes the best article in the field of Caribbean history, and will be awarded at the 52nd Conference of the ACH in Le Gosier, Guadeloupe, June 6-11, 2021. The Prize Committee noted that “Chochotte brilliantly links nineteenth century peasant revolts to Haiti’s longer revolutionary history and popular politics. He makes an important contribution to the ongoing challenge to America’s persistent portrayal of Haiti as intrinsically unstable, undemocratic, and violent.”
The article is free to read for a limited time in recognition of the award. Learn more about the Andrés Ramos Mattei-Neville Hall Article Prize on the ACH website.
