Modern Language Association, 2021

Welcome to the NYU Press virtual booth! I will truly miss not being able to attend MLA and speak to scholars in person. While the vibrancy of the book room is impossible to replicate, I still want to show off our fantastic books, available at a 30% discount and free domestic shipping. If you’d like to contact me for a meeting, you can find my information here.

Congratulations to Yogita Goyal for her Honorable Mention for the James Russell Lowell Prize for Runaway Genres: The Global Afterlives of Slavery, to Melissa E. Sanchez for her Honorable Mention for the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Queer Faith: Reading Promiscuity and Race in the Secular Love Tradition, and to Keguro Macharia for winning the Alan Bray Memorial Prize, given by the GL/Q Caucus of the MLA, for Frottage: Frictions of Intimacy across the Black Diaspora! I’m so pleased to see this outstanding and original work recognized. 

Eric Zinner, Editor-in-Chief
