It is extremely empirically rich and a pleasure to read,” said the award committee in selecting the book.</p> <p>The most prestigious prize awarded by the Canadian Association of African Studies,<a href="https://caas-acea.org/conference/awards#:~:text=The%20Joel%20Gregory%20Prize%20is,promotion%20of%20knowledge%20of%20Africa."> the Joel Gregory Prize </a>is&nbsp;given once every two years.</p> <h3><a href="https://utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/our-community/book-exploring-institutional-racism-south-african-public-education-earns-top-award">Read the 鶹Ƶ Scarborough story</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 10 Jul 2020 13:45:22 +0000 lanthierj 165325 at
