The SAW Book Prize is awarded each year by the Society for the Anthropology of Work, a section of the American Anthropological Association. In 2024, the prize will be awarded to an edited volume or other book that is not a conventional monograph (e.g., graphic novels, art books, etc.) with a publication date of 2021 or later. Monographs will be accepted again in 2025 and 2026. The prize is awarded at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association and carries an award of $500, or $250 each in the case of multiple editors.

SAW invites submissions from all four fields of anthropology and from both authors and publishers. Self-nominations are welcome. The committee seeks to highlight scholarship that offers new empirical and analytical insights on work and labor, broadly conceived. Submissions should address issues of general concern to the subfield and to anthropology as a whole, as well as to the public.

Deadline for receiving books is July 1, 2024. Please send copies of the nominated books to the prize committee and direct any questions to the committee chair, Waqas Butt (waqas.butt@utoronto.ca).
