The University of California Press in association with the Center for a
Public Anthropology are again sponsoring, in 2009, two international
competitions focused on encouraging anthropologically inclined authors
to address major public problems and broad audiences. Both competitions
will award book contracts at early stages in the research/writing
process - without the applicant necessarily having completed (or even
started) the specified research and/or writing of the specified manuscript.
To learn more details - regarding the competition, the submission
process, and the standards by which entries will be judged - please

May we ask a favor? Would you please forward this email to anyone you
think might not have received it. We discovered with the 2008
competition that a number of high quality proposals were submitted only
because some readers, who received our announcement, took the time to
forward it on to others who had not heard about the competition. Thank you.
Regards,
Dr. Rob Borofsky (Center for a Public Anthropology & Hawaii Pacific
University)
