Afua Cooper's The Hanging of Angelique, about slavery and resistance in New France, is the principal Canadian history in the Non-fiction nominees for this year GG's announced this morning. Congratulations, Afua.
Also nominated: Ross King for The Judgment of Paris, (an art history on the rise of impressionism), Michael Strangelove for The Empire of the Mind: Digital Piracy and the Anti-capitalist Movement (hmmm, should look into that!), Christine Wiesenthal for The Half-lives of Pat Lowther, on the murdered BC poet, and Susanne Reber and Robert Renaud for Starlight Tour, the book on Saskatoon native men and boys dumped by police to freeze to death.
An interesting list.
