<ksheldon@ucla.edu> THE AIDOO-SNYDER SCHOLARLY BOOK PRIZE 2007 The Aidoo-Snyder book prize is awarded by the Women's Caucus of the African Studies Association for an outstanding book that prioritizes African women's experiences. Named in honor of Ama Ata Aidoo, the celebrated Ghanaian novelist and short-story writer, and Margaret Snyder the founding Director of UNIFEM, this $500 prize seeks to acknowledge the excellence of contemporary scholarship being produced by women about African women. In alternate years, the prize is awarded for the best scholarly book, or for the best creative work. In 2007, the Aidoo-Snyder book prize Committee invites publishers to submit nominations of scholarly works that have been published in 2005 and 2006 in English or in English translation. These books must be original authored manuscripts, and they may come from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology/sociology, economics, history, literature, political science, and women's studies. Publishers should submit one copy of each book that is nominated directly to each of the three members of the Scholarly Prize Committee by May 15, 2007.
