African Studies Review Best Africa-Focused Anthology or Edited Collection Prize

The African Studies Review invites publishers to nominate titles for the ASR Best Africa-focused Anthology or Edited Collection Prize, sponsored by Cambridge University Press. This award recognizes editors and contributors to an anthology of original scholarship, cohesive in structure and interdisciplinary in nature, that advances African studies in new theoretical and/or methodological directions. The award recognizes the editor(s) and also the contributors as a whole. In making its selection the prize committee will pay particular attention to significance, originality, and quality of writing, and its contribution to advancing debates in African studies. The prize-winning editor(s) will receive a plaque, $1,000 thanks to the generous support of Cambridge University Press, and will be honored at the ASA annual meeting.
