Leading historians and writers in a breadth of fields, from early modern Atlantic World political and cultural studies, postcolonial modern Africa, and money and consumption in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Europe, historians Nicole Eustace, Moses Ochonu, Rebecca L. Spang, and journalist and writer Stephanie Nolen join chair Rana Mitter to complete the 2024 Cundill History Prize jury, deliberating over a record year for submissions.
