The Middle East Section is now accepting nominations for its biennial book award. This award is given to an anthropological work (single- or multi-authored, but not edited volumes) that speaks to issues in a way that holds relevance beyond our subfield. Criteria may include: innovative approaches, theoretical sophistication, and topical originality.
Books submitted for the 2019 MES book award must have a publication date of 2017 or 2018.
To nominate a work, please send one copy of the book to each of the three committee members listed below.
All submissions must be received by May 1, 2019.
