In “The Creole Archipelago,” Murphy traces how generations of Indigenous Kalinagos, free and enslaved Africans, and settlers from a variety of European nations used maritime routes to forge connections that spanned the eastern Caribbean. The Boucher prize is awarded annually and recognizes the best book on the French colonial experience from the 16th century to 1815. The Elsa Goveia award recognizes excellence in the field of Caribbean history and is awarded to one author every two years. The Association of Caribbean Historians awarded the book its Elsa Goveia Book Prize, and the French Colonial Historical Society honored it with its 2022 Mary Alice and Philip Boucher Book Prize. These prizes are in addition to two others she received late last year. Tessa Murphy, associate professor of history in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, has received two new prizes for her first book, “The Creole Archipelago: Race and Borders in the Colonial Caribbean” (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2021).
