Bryce Wood Book Award
À propos du prix
Lors de chaque Congrès international de LASA, Latin American Studies Association présente le Bryce Wood Book Award, décerné à un livre exceptionnel portant sur l’Amérique latine dans le domaine des sciences sociales et humaines et publié en anglais.
Appel aux candidatures
Les livres éligibles au prix de 2025 doivent être publiés entre le 1er juillet 2023 et le 30 juin 2024. Bien que les livres ne peuvent participer qu'une seule fois, les traductions peuvent être prises en considération. Généralement, les anthologies de morceaux de plusieurs auteurs ou les rééditions d'œuvres publiées antérieurement ne sont pas en lice pour le prix. Les livres seront jugés en fonction de la qualité de la recherche, de l'analyse et du style verbal, sans oublier l'importance de leur contribution aux études latino-américaines. Seuls les membres actuel·le·s de LASA ou les Éditeurs peuvent nominer un livre.
Les personnes qui proposent des livres doivent en confirmer la date de publication et télécharger une copie numérique. Ils doivent également fournir l'adresse postale complète, le numéro de téléphone ainsi que l'adresse e-mail de la personne proposée. Les nominations pour le Bryce Wood Book Award doivent être soumises par voie électronique en remplissant le formulaire de nomination au plus tard le 20 septembre 2024.
En janvier 2025, le comité sélectionnera le livre gagnant. Une mention honorable pourra également être accordée. Le livre gagnant sera annoncé lors de la Cérémonie d'ouverture du Congrès de LASA2025 et le/la récipiendaire sera honoré·e publiquement. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'être membre de la LASA pour recevoir le prix.
