East Gate Books titles have won many important prizes, including two Joseph Levenson Prizes for the Best Book on Twentieth Century China (China's Environmental Crisis in 1994 and Unstately Power in 2000), the Grand Prize for Korean Literary Translation (Peace Under Heaven in 1995), and the Sprout Award for the Best Book on International Environmental Studies (Asia's Environmental Movements in 2000).
