What: Willi Paul Adams Award, given biennially by the Organization of American Historians to the author of the best book on American history published in a foreign language. The award (formerly the Foreign Language Book Prize) is named for Willi Paul Adams, who was an active member of OAH in Germany and a tireless advocate of the internationalization of American history.
The OAH defines both “history” and “American” broadly. To be eligible, a book should be concerned with the past (recent or distant) or with issues of continuity and change.
Deadline: may 1, 2018
How to apply: follow the “submission procedures” on the call page: write a one-to two-page essay (in English, along with the title in English) explaining why the book is a significant and original contribution to our understanding of American history, and include a summary of the book’s main argument. The application should also include the following information:
- name
- mailing address
- institutional affiliation
- fax number
- e-mail address
- language of submitted book
- table of contents in English
