    Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Prodigal by Phyllis Gobell This book is published by Histria Fiction an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.

    Prodigal by Phyllis Gobbell, now available from Histria Books

    It’s the Fourth of July, 2000. In a small Southern town, fireworks light the sky above the City Park, while down the street a smaller flash of light changes everything for 19-year-old Connor Burdette. He has just lost the girl he loves. Now, buying beer at the Back Home Market, he becomes an accomplice to a shooting. Out of desperation, he runs. It will take ten years and a death to bring him back. But it’s so hard to come home. The town still blames him for his part in the convenience store shooting. His wealthy grandmother’s will, leaving her fortune to Connor, only causes tension in the family. The Burdettes are caught in the fierce push and pull of loyalties and deception. And like the gun that washes up in a rainstorm, family secrets won’t stay buried. Nikki, who is married to Connor’s brother, Russ, has kept the most powerful secret of all. Connor has to face his past, his cowardice at the convenience store, and his betrayal of his brother. At the Back Home Market, where it all began, Connor is given one last chance to redeem himself, to be forgiven and to forgive himself. Prodigal is a modern-day retelling of an age-old story, unique in the context of a Southern family. Told by multiple narrators, Prodigal is about forgiveness, redemption, and the sacrifice that love demands.

    Rev. Becca Stevens, President and Founder of Thistle Farms, Author of Practically Divine: says “I am a Phyllis Gobbell fan. Her southern-spiced storytelling, combined with her divining rod for truth stuck in the mud of deceit and time, pulls you into this story of the prodigal. She has written to the sweet spot where suspense and tenderness meet. Take this book to the mountain, on the train, or to your bed. You will love it!”

    Susan Van Kirk, Author of the Endurance Mysteries and the Art Center Mysteries calls it “A Southern tale at its best. Secrets, lies, betrayal – a deadly trinity that moves this family story into the realm of tragic.”

    Phyllis Gobbell writes a little bit of everything — mysteries, true crimes, short stories, creative nonfiction and fiction. Her award-winning stories have appeared in 2 Bridges Review, Bellevue Review, Zone 3, Red Mud Review, Coastal Shelf, Tetrahedra, and HomeWorks. She received Tennessee’s Individual Artist Award for Literature. Treachery in Tuscany, the third book in her Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series, won a Silver Falchion Award for Best Cozy Mystery.

  • Ashoka University’s Prof. Projit Bihari Mukharji Wins 2024 Pfizer Award for Groundbreaking Book

    New Delhi, November 18, 2024 – Ashoka University is proud to share that Professor Projit Bihari Mukharji, a distinguished historian and Head of the History Department which is part of the Harish and Bina Shah School of Humanities (HBSS) at the University, has been honored with the 2024 Pfizer Award for his acclaimed book, “Brown Skins, White Coats: Race Science in India, 1920–66”. The award, presented by the History of Science Society, recognizes Mukharji’s pioneering research that uncovers the complex intersections of race, science, colonialism and nationalism in India. Through meticulous scholarship, Mukharji’s work provides critical insights into how scientific practices were entangled with racial ideologies, reshaping our understanding of race science within a colonial context.

    award book

    The Pfizer award is an annual award given by the History of Science Society (HSS) to an outstanding book on the history of science which has made a significant contribution to the understanding of the history of science. Professor Mukharji’s book, which explores the intersection of colonialism, scientific practices, and the development of healthcare systems in South Asia, has received widespread critical acclaim for its depth, originality, and exploration of historical narratives in genetic studies.

    Professor Mukharji’s award-winning book provides a path-breaking contribution to the discussion of race in postcolonial societies. It offers a richly detailed and largely overlooked history of the mobilization of racial thinking and of race science in anticolonial movements and postcolonial nationalism.

    In this stirring book, Projit Bihari Mukharji illustrates how India appropriated and repurposed race science to its own ends and argues that these appropriations need to be understood within the national and regional contexts of postcolonial nation-making—not merely as footnotes to a Western history of “normal science.”

    On receiving the Pfizer award, Professor Projit Bihari Mukharji said, “I am delighted beyond words to receive the Pfizer Award, as it marks the first time in 66 years that the prize has gone to a book on India. This recognition not only honors my work but also acknowledges the importance of examining such overlooked histories of medical knowledge and practice. I am thrilled that my work has significantly contributed to a broader understanding of global medical history.”

    “We are thrilled to congratulate Professor Mukharji on receiving this prestigious recognition,” said Prof. Somak Raychaudhuri, Vice Chancellor of Ashoka University. “His work not only advances the field of history but also sheds light on the deeply interwoven legacies of colonialism and medicine, providing essential perspectives on the subject. This award is a testament to his dedication to scholarship and his ability to engage with complex historical questions in a truly impactful way.”

    Projit Bihari’s research largely focuses on the histories of science and medicine in modern South Asia. He is also the author of Nationalizing the Body: The Medical Market, Print and Daktari Medicine (London, 2009), Doctoring Traditions: Ayurveda, Small Technologies and Braided Sciences (Chicago, 2016) and, most recently, Brown Skins, White Coats: Race Science in India, 1920-66 (Chicago, 2022). His articles have appeared in journals such as IESHR, JAS, CSSH, History of Science, Osiris, Technology & Culture, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, etc.

    Published by the University of Chicago Press, Professor Mukharji’s Brown Skins, White Coats has been reviewed by leading experts, authors and academic platforms such as Oxford University’s Social History of Medicine; Journal of the History of Biology; Partha Chatterjee, Columbia University; Keith Wailoo, Princeton University, Elise K. Burton, University of Toronto, amongst others.

    The Harish and Bina Shah School of Humanities (HBSS) at Ashoka University is supported by the generous contribution of the Harish & Bina Shah Foundation and focuses on driving teaching and research excellence in the Humanities disciplines (including Languages, Literature, History and Philosophy) as well as supporting interdisciplinary research initiatives in the Social and Natural Sciences at the University.
