TORONTO – A modern history of eastern and central Europe has won this year’s $50,000 Lionel Gelber Prize
Jurors awarded the prize to Oxford University professor Timothy Garton Ash, for his book “Homelands: A Personal History of Europe.”
The book charts Europe’s recent history, including Garton Ash’s firsthand accounts of course-changing events.
Presented by the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, the Lionel Gelber Prize is handed out annually to the world’s top English non-fiction book on international affairs.
This year’s short list also included Canadian scholar Wendy Wong’s “We, the Data: Human rights in the digital age” and “Seven Crashes: The economic crises that shaped globalization” by Harold James.
Also nominated were “Underground Empire: How America weaponized the world economy” by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, and “Power and Progress: Our 1,000-year struggle over technology and prosperity” by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 6, 2024.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version referred to the Munk School of Global Affairs. In fact, it is the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.
