Fatima Shaik is an Indian-American and African-American author and former journalist. Her work explores contemporary social issues, especially that of the "African-American experience."[1][2]
Shaik’s research on the Société d’Economie, an early Black Catholic mutual aid society, received support from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and the Kittredge Fund, and led to her 2021 book Economy Hall: The Hidden History of a Free Black Brotherhood. That same year, she received the Louisiana Writer Award from the Louisiana Center for the Book and the State Library of Louisiana.
Shaik is the subject of a film by director Kaveri Kaul, who takes the author to Shaik's paternal grandfather’s birthplace in Kolkata.[3] Shaik is included in The Booklover’s Guide to New Orleans and the Encyclopedia of African American Writers.
