Latin America in translation: Call for proposals

September 2016

The Latin America in Translation Series – a joint initiative of the UNC and Duke University –  translates and publishes in English outstanding books in a wide range of fields by important Latin American writers and scholars.

The books must have already been published in the original language. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 14, 2016. While most topics in the social sciences and humanities are considered, the committee gives highest consideration to those works that, once translated, will be most likely to attract a significant readership in English. The committee is particularly eager to translate works that can be used effectively in the classroom. Nonfiction has a much better chance of being selected than fiction or poetry. More information
