Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University, is one of the most prominent historians in the United States. He is the author or editor of over twenty books. His publications have concentrated on the intersections of intellectual, political and social history and the history of American race relations.
“Reconstruction, 1863-1877: America’s Unfinished Revolution” (1988), winner of the Bancroft Prize and Los Angeles Times book prize, along other awards, is regarded as the standard work on the era. “The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery” (2010), was awarded the Bancroft Prize, Pulitzer Prize for History, and the Lincoln Prize. As co-curator of two award-winning historical exhibitions, and through frequent appearances in newspapers and magazines and on radio and television discussion programs, he has also endeavored to bring historical knowledge to a broad public outside the university.
His latest book, “The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution,” was published in September 2019.
