The Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting has awarded a grant of $11,000 to Peter Chilson to support his book project on African borderlands. Chilson will return to Mali and Burkina Faso at the end of April to report on the recent declaration by Tuareg rebels of a new independent African state, the Azawad, in northern Mali, West Africa. As part of the grant, Chilson will write an e-book about his travels to be published by Foreign Policy Magazine, a publication of the Washington Post. Chilson is working on a larger book project about African borderlands for University of Nebraska Press.
