February 2012
February is African American History Month, and Cornell University Press has the perfect book to celebrate the month—In the Words of Frederick Douglass: Quotations from Liberty's Champion. A rich trove of quotations from Douglass, this book compiles nearly 700 quotations by Douglass that demonstrate the breadth and strength of his intellect as well as the eloquence with which he expressed his political and ethical principles.
February is also a good month in which to look back to the prizes and other honors awarded to our books in 2011. You'll find a complete list of our recent award-winners by clicking here.
