Bentley Book Prize
(Redirected from Jerry Bentley Book Prize)
The World History Association Bentley Book Prize is an annual award given by the World History Association. It was first awarded in 1999 as the World History Association Book Prize; the name was changed in 2012 to honor Jerry H. Bentley.[1][2][3] The prize is $500.
It should not be confused with the Jerry Bentley Prize in World History, a similar book prize established in 2014 by the American Historical Association.[4]
