Next Award Year: 2021

The Haring Prize is a quinquennial prize awarded to the Latin American author who has published the most outstanding book on Latin American history during the five years preceding the year of the award. Clarence Haring (1885–1960) was a noted Latin Americanist and a longtime member of the Association. Capital for the prize was derived from contributions from the friends of Clarence H. Haring and from other grants between 1963 and 1966. See the list of past recipients. The general rules for submission are:

1. Books with a copyright between 2016 and 2020 will be eligible for the prize in 2021. There is no language limitation on works submitted.
2. Nominators must complete an online prize submission form for each book submitted.
3. One copy of each entry must be sent to each committee member and clearly labeled “Haring Prize Entry.” Electronic copies may be sent only to committee members who have indicated they will accept them.

Please Note: Entries must be received by May 15, 2021, to be eligible for the 2021 competition. Entries will not be returned. Recipients will be announced on the AHA website in October 2021 and recognized during a ceremony at the January 2021 AHA annual meeting.
