Street Economies in the Urban Global South (School of Advanced Research, 2013), edited by Karen Tranberg Hansen, Walter Little, and B. Lynne Milgram, in which Professor Seligmann's chapter, “The Politics of Urban Space among Street Vendors of Cusco, Peru” appears, was chosen as the recipient of the 2014 Society for the Anthropology of Work Book Prize. The year's prize was for the best edited collection in the field of the anthropology of work published within the last three years. The criteria for the prize are: the significance of the research, its relevance for the anthropology of work, the clarity and effectiveness of the presentation, and its appeal to a wide audience in anthropology and beyond. Preference is given to books based on fieldwork and which have not received another award or prize. One year out of three the prize goes to an edited volume.
