About this Prize
Tá an Ghaeilge fite fuaite le scéal na nGael-Mheiriceánach sna Stáit Aontaithe. Ó thús, bhí cainteoirí agus scríbhneoirí Gaeilge ag trasnú an Atlantaigh, thall is abhus, agus gréasán na teanga Gaeilge ag nascadh agus ag cothú comhluadair ar an dá thaobh.
Tá duais faoi leith ag ACIS do leabhair taighde atá scríofa i nGaeilge. Bronntar an duais seo ar údar leabhair taighde in ábhar ar bith, ach é a bheith ina monagraf taighde (seachas eagrán nó bailiúchan) atá foilsithe i 2023.
The Irish language has been a feature of the Irish-American experience. From the beginning, speakers and writers of Irish have crossed over and back to the United States creating and nourishing a language community on both sides of the Atlantic.
ACIS has a specific prize for scholarly books written in Irish. This prize is awarded to the author of a research monograph which may be on any subject. Books eligible for the prize must be single-author monographs and should not be edited texts, and should be published in 2023.
