Canada Prizes shine a spotlight on scholarly books in humanities and social sciences
Read more about the winners and finalists of the 2018 Canada Prizes, presented by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences.
E.A. Heaman and Alex Gagnon have won the 2018 Canada Prizes in the Humanities and Social Sciences, for their books, Tax, Order, and Good Government: A New Political History of Canada, 1867-1917, and La communauté du dehors. Imaginaire social et crimes célèbres au Québec (XIXe-XXe siècle). The Canada Prizes are awarded each year by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences in recognition of two scholarly books, one in English and one in French, that “make an exceptional contribution to scholarship, are engagingly written, and enrich the social, cultural and intellectual life of Canada.” Each of the 10 finalists received funding from the Awards to Scholarly Publications Program, or ASPP, administered by the Federation. The two winners will be honoured at a ceremony at the Congress for the Humanities and Social Sciences, held this year in Regina from May 26 to June 1. Read about the finalists in English below.
