The Trouble with Unity

I learned about this several weeks ago, but at last the American Political Science Association has announced its 2011 "awards for excellence in the study, teaching, and practice of politics," so it's OK to post. APSA awarded The Trouble with Unity the Ralph Bunche Award, which "recognizes the best scholarly work in political science published in the previous calendar year that explores the phenomenon of ethnic and cultural pluralism." The Bunche is one of only four "major" APSA book awards, so it's a real honor.
