AWARD HONORED WORK: “Blood and Belonging”
Michael Ignatieff’s book blended impressive on-the-ground reporting in some of the world’s most troubled regions with sharp, relevant generalizations about political and social conflict. His book, which focuses on outbreaks of nationalism in the post-cold-war world, probes a range of societies suffering either disintegration or deep distress, from the former Yugoslavia to Northern Ireland.
