Book Award

Book Award

Established in 2008, the Humanities Institute Book Award is presented for a nonfiction work of humanities-based scholarship. The Book Award celebrates outstanding writers whose contributions to the humanities change the conversation by fostering new directions for their discipline.

The winner of the 2025 Book Award will be announced in April.

The 2024 HI Book Award Winner is Jo Guldi for "The Long Land War: The Global Struggle for Occupancy Rights," published by Yale University Press as part of the Yale Agrarian Studies Series.
