April 5, 2024
English Language and Literature scholar Tina Post won the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award in the Criticism category for her book Deadpan: The Aesthetics of Black Inexpression, published by New York University Press.
Committee chair J. Howard Rosier praised Deadpan as “a book that recontextualizes the act of withholding to taxonomize its origins and uses—specifically, the tact it assumes when intersecting with blackness.”
