Congratulations @colmfox.bsky.social - a well deserved prize for a fantastic book on ethnic politics in Indonesia (and elsewhere)

I wanted to share that my book "Bonding, Bridging, and Bypassing" just received APSA's Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section best book award. Very grateful for this recognition. Thanks to the committee and all those who have helped with this project over the years!
