Sponsored by the Hungarian Studies Association and awarded in memory of Susan Glantz, the longtime secretary-treasurer of HSA, the goal of the book prize is to recognize and support quality scholarship in Hungarian studies. It is awarded biennially for the most important contribution to Hungarian studies originally published in English in the previous two calendar years. The Susan Glantz Book Prize carries a cash award and is presented at the meeting of the Hungarian Studies Association at the annual convention of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
