JOHN HOPE FRANKLIN CENTER BOOKS

“With the publication of this distinguished set of books, the Press is
proud to continue the great and necessary work pioneered by John Hope
Franklin. These excellent books cross periods, disciplines, and
national borders and establish new paths of their own.”
– Ken Wissoker, Editor-in-Chief, Duke University Press.

The FHI and Duke University Press, one of the world’s most active and innovative university presses, as partners in the John Hope Franklin Center Book Awards program. In this program, DUP publishes four books annually under the Franklin Center Book imprint. These titles — all of which relate to the overall mission of the FHI — are chosen jointly by the Duke University Press faculty Board of Advisors and the Seminar Fellows, and costs of publication and marketing are supported by a generous subsidy from the Office of the Provost.
