I wanted to share that my book "Bonding, Bridging, and Bypassing" just received APSA's Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section book award. Very grateful for this recognition. Thanks to the committee and all those who have helped with this project over the years! @APSA_REP
20 years ago I left a design job in NY to do something new. 15 years ago I started this book. Damn, it took a while. A big thank you to all those in Indonesia and beyond who helped me along the way. Without your kindness and support I likely would have given up a long time ago.

The article helps us understand candidates’ communication strategies and why ethnic diversity actually results in less exclusivist ethnic politics. Ultimately, it has important implications for institutional design in ethnically diverse societies. 4/4
Very happy to have finally published this article on ethnic campaign appeals. I initially presented it at SEAREG ’17. Thanks to all who read and gave comments over the years. It’s part of a broader argument from my book project. 1/4

I found that candidates made ethnic bonding appeals if their ethnic group was politically viable in terms of size AND the lack of social constraints on appealing to that group. Candidates from nonviable groups bridged across ethnic groups or bypassed ethnicity entirely. 3/4
