Patricia Buckley Ebrey Prize in East Asian History

The American Historical Association offers the Patricia Buckley Ebrey Prize annually for a distinguished book in the history of China proper, Vietnam, Chinese Central Asia, Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea, or Japan, prior to 1800. This prestigious award recognizes outstanding scholarly and literary merit in the field of East Asian history. The prize is named after Patricia Buckley Ebrey, a historian of China and professor emerita at the University of Washington at Seattle, who is a winner of the 2014 AHA Award for Scholarly Distinction. The competition is open to books with recent copyright dates, and eligible submissions include scholarly monographs that demonstrate exceptional research and writing quality. Only books of high scholarly and literary merit are considered, with anthologies, edited works, and pamphlets excluded from eligibility.
