2013 Canadian Historical Review Prize

The Editorial Board of the Canadian Historical Review is pleased to announce the winner of the CHR Prize for the best article published in the journal in the year 2013.

 Sean Mills

“Quebec, Haiti, and the Deportation Crisis of 1974”
(Canadian Historical Review 94.3, September 2013)

This important article, an example of histoire croisee, illustrates the entanglements of politics from below and above as well as transnational approaches to tell the complex story of Quebec’s crisis of immigration and identity around the place of Haitian immigrants in the province in the early 1970s.  A decidedly original work within the context of Quebec history and recent Quebec and Canadian political, social and immigration history that brings this story to wider audience, the article is methodologically sophisticated and deeply researched, yet well-written and entirely accessible.
