This year’s history category had two winners. Ms. DuVal was honored for “a vivid and accessible account” of Native American nations and communities over a thousand years, the committee said. Ms. Fields-Black won for “a richly-textured and revelatory account of a slave rebellion.”

Everett’s novel was honored at the 2025 awards, along with other books in the categories of fiction, general nonfiction, memoir, poetry, history and biography.

Pulitzer Prize winners were announced Monday, with several prizes awarded to news organizations for their coverage of the assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump last summer.
