Sadr Wins Award for Best Book in Social Sciences at Annual Conference

Omar Sadr’s latest book, “Negotiating Cultural Diversity in Afghanistan,” was awarded the Best Book in Social Sciences Award from the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) at its annual conference, at Indiana University on October 22th. The book explores the effect of cultural diversity on the construction of the modern Afghan state, exploring policy changes and nationalism in connection with the state’s negotiation of these differences. He investigates the usefulness of western concepts of liberalism and multiculturalism in Afghanistan and proposes an alternative, inclusive framework for governing cultural diversity.

Sadr is a Research Fellow at the Center for Governance and Markets (CGM) in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) at the University of Pittsburgh. “Negotiating Cultural Diversity in Afghanistan” was published by Routledge in London in 2020. More information is available on their website.
