Wesley-Logan Prize in African Diaspora History

The Wesley-Logan Prize in African diaspora history is jointly administered by the American Historical Association and the Association for the Study of African American Life & History. The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding book in African diaspora history. The prize is offered for a book on some aspect of the history of the dispersion, settlement and adjustment, and/or return of peoples originally from Africa. Eligible for consideration are books in any chronological period and any geographical location. Only books of high scholarly and literary merit will be considered. The prize was established in 1992 in memory of two early pioneers in the field, Charles H. Wesley and Rayford W. Logan, who were prominent historians at Howard University and other institutions.
