Harvard’s Tiya Miles won the 2022 Cundill History Prize for her book All that she carried: The journey of Ashley’s sack, a Black family keepsake. The prize was launched by Peter Cundill (BCom’60) in 2008, and is administered by McGill. It awards $75,000 each year to a book that embodies historical scholarship, originality, literary quality and broad appeal. The Cundill History Prize awards an additional $10,000 to two other award finalists. This year, those prizes went to Vladislav Zubok for his book Collapse: The fall of the Soviet Union, and Ada Ferrer for her work Cuba: An American history. Congratulations to all!
