Dr. Max Bergholz: First Scholar Based in Canada to be Honoured by the ASN

Dr. Max Bergholz has just been awarded the Harriman Rothschild Book Prize by the Association for the Study of Nationalities for his monograph, Violence as a Generative Force: Identity, Nationalism, and Memory in a Balkan Community (Cornell, 2016). The ASN describes his book as "a searing, original, and morally engaged study of violence in southeastern Europe during the Second World War" and will present the award at a ceremony in New York this coming Saturday. 

The Joseph Rothschild Prize in Nationalism and Ethnic Studies, sponsored by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University, is awarded annually at the ASN World Convention for an outstanding book published in the previous calendar year on Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia/Turkey, Central Europe, and the Balkans, in which substantial attention is paid to questions of ethnicity and/or nationalism.
