The James A. Rawley Prize is an annual book award made by the Organization of American Historians (OAH). The award goes to the best book dealing with the history of race relations in the United States. The prize is given in memory of Professor James A. Rawley, Carl Adolph Happold Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. The President of the OAH appoints three members annually to form the committee that makes the award. The winning author receives $1000.00. In 1992, 2002, and 2003 the committee chose two winners.
In the table below, the link on the author is the most recent biographical information available. The link to the “Affiliation”—usually an academic institution appointment—is that affiliation at the time the award was given. In both instances, priority is given to a “Wikipedia” entry.
