The ASA Digital Humanities Caucus Ángel David Nieves Book Award was renamed in 2024 to memorialize the profound scholarly, social justice, and personal impacts of Dr. Nieves on his colleagues and the field of digital humanities. The Ángel David Nieves Book Award recognizes exceptional work that grapples with urgent questions that are specifically situated in practices of studying at the intersection of American Studies, Digital Humanities, and Digital Studies.
For the Ángel David Nieves Award, we especially seek submissions that: 1) center research topics that "promote the development of interdisciplinary research on U.S. culture and history in a global context" (following ASA's stated purpose); 2) address these topics through anti-racist, feminist, community-led, or activist modes and methods; 3) are written collaboratively; 4) engage the complicated politics at play in DH collaborative research. We seek not only scholarly monographs; we invite submissions of trade books, self-published collectively written zines, and other alternative formats.
