Jasanoff’s ‘Liberty’ recognized
Earns National Book Critics Circle award for general nonfiction
On Thursday, the National Book Critics Circle recognized Harvard Professor Maya Jasanoff with its award for general nonfiction for “Liberty’s Exiles: American Loyalists in the Revolutionary War” (Knopf). At the awards ceremony, Jasanoff opened her remarks by saying, “When you write a book about losers, you don’t really expect to get up and make a speech like this.”
Jasanoff is also one of three finalists for the $50,000 George Washington Book Prize for “Liberty’s Exiles: American Loyalists in the Revolutionary World,” which will be announced June 4.
