In this powerful account, she follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to uncover the harrowing origin story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion. The 272 was selected as a notable book of 2023 by the New York Times, the New Yorker, Time magazine, the Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews and the Chicago Public Library. It was long-listed for the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medal. Rachel Swarns is a journalist, writer, and an associate professor of journalism at New York University. She writes about race and race relations as a contributing writer for The New York Times. Her articles about Georgetown University’s roots in slavery touched off a national conversation about American universities and their ties to this painful period of history.
