Clarence H. Haring Prize in Latin American History

The Clarence H. 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. The prize recognizes exceptional scholarly contributions to the field of Latin American history, with preference given to books written in one of the languages of Latin America and to authors whose primary affiliation is to a Latin American institution. Capital for the prize was derived from contributions from the friends of Clarence H. Haring and from other grants between 1963 and 1966. The prize has been awarded every five years since 1966, recognizing outstanding historical scholarship on Latin America by Latin American scholars.
