We’re deeply saddened to hear that Maryse Conde has died. The Grande Dame of Caribbean literature, she was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize twice, in 2015 and 2023, and leaves behind an extraordinary body of work. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family.

I asked my publisher Random House Group for copies of my book #blackwomentaughtus for my Black Feminist Politics students in my spring course. They didn't hesitate. This was always the goal: getting the book in young people's hands.

It’s book launch day!!!!! So exciting!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 it’s finally here!!!!
