Calls for Proposals

Latin America in Translation/En Traducción/Em Tradução

The Latin America in Translation Series is a joint initiative of the UNC and Duke Consortium, Duke University Press (DUP), and the University of North Carolina Press (UNCP) and is directed by an editorial committee of faculty members and editors from the three sponsoring institutions. Since 1993, more than 60 books have been published in the series with more forthcoming regularly.
The Series translates and publishes in English outstanding books in a wide range of fields by important Latin American writers and scholars. It helps to further dialogue across academic communities in Latin America and the English-speaking world. And it brings Latin American content to students and scholars in other fields of study. The books must have already been published in the original language.

Nomination Procedures:
Interested scholars are encouraged to nominate a title for consideration in the series; authors are not invited to nominate their own books. Only complete submissions will be accepted.
Please include the following:
1. A nomination letter from one or more people, other than the author, that addresses the book’s importance within Latin America and for an English-language audience, as well as its need for translation. The letter, in Spanish and English, can be found on our website: https://lacsconsortium.org/translation-series/.
2. (Recommended) One or two particularly significant published reviews of the book with complete references for the sources.
3. A copy of the book (a PDF version is fine). The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 15, 2023. Incomplete submissions, or submissions postmarked after the deadline, will not be accepted. Please submit all materials as mail attachments to jprather@duke.edu.
