Dorothy Rosenberg Prize in Jewish Diaspora History

The Dorothy Rosenberg Prize for the history of the Jewish diaspora recognizes the most distinguished work of scholarship on the history of the Jewish diaspora published in English during the previous calendar year. Eligibility is defined broadly, to include books on any period and from any disciplinary field that incorporates a historical perspective. In making its selection, the prize committee pays particular attention to depth of research, methodological innovation, conceptual originality and literary excellence. Works that reinterpret old themes or develop new theoretical perspectives are welcome. The prize is awarded annually by the American Historical Association to recognize outstanding published scholarship in Jewish diaspora history. Recipients are announced in October and recognized during a ceremony at the AHA annual meeting in January.
