Description

The Willi Paul Adams Award is given biennially by the Organization of American Historians to the author of the best book on American history published in a language other than English. To be eligible, a book should be concerned with the past (recent or distant) or with issues of continuity and change. It should also be substantially concerned with events or processes that began, developed, or ended in the American colonies and/or the United States. We welcome comparative and international studies that fall within these guidelines. Authors of eligible books are invited to nominate their work. This award is not open to books whose manuscripts were originally submitted for publication in English or by people for whom English is their first language. Each entry must have been published during the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. Three copies of the essay and book, clearly labeled ÔÇ£2023 OAH Willi Paul Adams Award Entry,ÔÇØ must be mailed to the awarding committee.
