Career
In 1972, Degler was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History for his book Neither Black nor White, a work comparing slavery and race relations in Brazil and the United States. He wrote Out of Our Past, a study of United States history. It is currently used in various classrooms and study-chambers throughout the United States, along with Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States; they are considered as presenting conflicting viewpoints and thus optimal for presenting a complete view of American history. In 1986 Degler was elected President of the American Historical Association.
