Latin American Studies Association: PageTitle

Deadline: November 1, 2008

At each International Congress, the Latin American Studies Association presents the Bryce Wood Book Award to the outstanding book on Latin America in the social sciences and humanities published in English. Eligible books for the 2009 LASA International Congress will be those published between January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Although no book may compete more than once, translations may be considered. Anthologies of selections by several authors or re-editions of works published previously normally are not in contention for the award. Books will be judged on the quality of the research, analysis, and writing, and the significance of their contribution to Latin American studies. Books may be nominated by authors, LASA members, or publishers. Persons who nominate books are responsible for confirming the publication date and for forwarding one copy directly to each member of the Award Committee, at the expense of the authors or publishers.

All books nominated must reach each member of the Award Committee by November 1, 2008. By the month preceding the next International Congress (June 2009), the committee will select a winning book. It may also name an honorable mention. The award will be announced at the Award Ceremony of the LASA2009 business meeting, and the awardee will be publicly honored. LASA membership is not a requirement to receive the award.
