The Northeast Popular Culture Association is proud to honor Beyond Norma Rae with the 2023 Peter C. Rollins Book Prize. Accessible in style yet rigorous in scope, this book reimagines the history behind the 1979 film Norma Rae and restores the diverse women’s voices that Hollywood sidelined.
Each year NEPCA awards the Peter C. Rollins Prize, a cash prize for the best book on American culture penned by a scholar who lives and/or works in New England or New York.
