Two University of the West Indies Press Books earn 2023 IPPY Awards

The University of the West Indies Press (UWI Press) is delighted to announce that two of its books have won awards in the 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards).

“The Blackest Thing in Slavery Was Not the Black Man: The Last Testament of Eric Williams,” edited by Brinsley Samaroo, received the silver award in the History (World) category, and “Education for Sustainable Development in the Caribbean: Pedagogy, Processes and Practices” by Lorna Down and Therese Ferguson won the bronze medal in the Education II (Commentary/Theory) category.

Almost three decades old, The IPPY Awards started as a broad-based, unaffiliated awards program for independent authors and publishers who produce books targeting English-speaking audiences. Since then, UWI Press books and authors have received over 100 local, national and international awards and recognitions in various categories for scholarly, editorial, design, production, and marketing excellence.
