SIS Professor Jordanna Matlon has won the prestigious Distinguished Scholarly Book Award from the American Sociological Association for her book A Man among Other Men: The Crisis of Black Masculinity in Racial Capitalism. 

According to the ASA award description, A Man among Other Men "is a work of deep insight and titanic importance from a fantastic scholar. Matlon has delivered a text that speaks to several of our discipline’s largest and most central subfields, including race, gender, and social class, as well as labor, global and transnational sociology, postcolonialism, and globalization...Throughout the book Matlon carefully explains theories and ideologies of race and gender without ever losing sight of the real places and actual material conditions that people experience in their everyday lives. Matlon’s work is an exemplar of sociology’s promise to explain the relationship between social structures and social life."

Congratulations, Jordanna!
