is presented in odd-numbered years to recognize the best critical edition or translation into English of primary source materials on Africa published during the preceding two years.
It is announced at the African Studies Association Annual Meeting, which is scheduled October 30-November 2, 2003 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.
Eligible for consideration are texts dealing with the history, literature, and other aspects of the cultures of Africa, whether in African or European languages, whether from oral or written traditions, and whether the text is published for the first time or in a new edition. Evaluation for the Text Prize is based on the importance of the text, the presentation of the text and the critical apparatus, and the utility of the work as a whole for scholars and teachers of Africa. Works edited by a single individual or jointly edited by more than one author are eligible for consideration. Anthologies with separate contributions by different authors, children’s books, and straightforward texts are not eligible. The minimum length is 10,000 words, excluding the apparatus.
The Text Prize Committee consists of three scholars identified by the ASA Board. To nominate a text, please send a copy of the text, published
in 2001 or 2002, to each of the three committee members and to the ASA Executive Director. Nominations must be postmarked by July 31, 2003.
