Journal of American History

The Organization of American Historians is now inviting entries for the 2008 David Thelen Award for the best scholarly article on U.S. history written in a language other than English. An entry should be concerned with events or processes that began, developed, or ended in what is now the United States. It should make a significant and original contribution to the understanding of American history. We especially welcome comparative and transnational studies that present American readers with pieces of their history through the distinctive lenses of others.

The competition is open to scholars around the world whose native language is not English. Eligible is any article-length work published during the years 2005 and 2006 in a journal, essay collection, festschrift, or other publication. The article must have been originally written in a language other than English, and it must not have appeared as a published work in English. The winner is awarded a cash prize ($500) as well as publication of the article (in English translation) in the Journal of American History. Deadline for submission is May 1, 2007.

Entries should be mailed to the following address:
