This is an exceptionally low number of submitted books for this award relative to previous years. Therefore, the Association for Asian American Studies regretfully will not be able to award a 2020 book prize in the category of social science books. We are committed to continuing our recognition of Asian American Studies scholarship in the social sciences and hope that we have a robust competition next year.
