To Members of the Section on Marxist Sociology and to PSN'ers:

The Distinguished Scholarship Award Committee of the Section on 
Marxist Sociology of the American Sociological Association has 
selected two books to receive the 1998 Distinguished Scholarship 
Award, and the recipients have been notified.

Award recipients will be officially recognized at the Reception of 
the Section on Marxist Sociology to be held during the ASA Meeting in 
San Francisco on Sunday, August 23, at 6:30pm.  The Reception is 
being held jointly this year with the Section on Racial and Ethnic 
Minorities and other ASA sections.  It promises to be a very large 
and spirited Reception.  If you are attending the ASA Meeting, please 
plan to attend the Reception to join us in congratulating the 
recipients of this award.

I want to commend Levon Chorbajian and Manuel Moreno, my two fellow 
members of this committee, for their hard work and for the highly 
conscientious way in which they pursued this task.

I also want to thank all those PSN subscribers who nominated books 
and authors for consideration.  All eight of the books we reviewed 
were very good, and it was difficult for us to select the award 
winning books.
