The Department of Anthropology at Harvard University is pleased to share that senior West Foster (joint concentration in Social Anthropology and African American Studies with a secondary in Ethnicity, Migration, Rights, and a language citation in Spanish) has been awarded the Kathryn Ann Huggins Prize for most outstanding thesis related to African American life, history, or culture.

West shares with us:

> By writing this thesis, I sought to craft a project that captures feelings of unfamiliarity and home as experienced by Black Americans who initiate into the spiritual traditions of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe and Lukumí. I am thankful for the trust of my interlocutors and the support of my good friends and family in this process. I am also grateful for the example set by my ancestors whose resilience and ingenuity I seek to embody where I go.

Our most sincere congratulations to West on this outstanding achievement.
