UMASS MEDIA: Pulitzer Prize winning author Herbert Bix '60
HERBERT BIX ’60, WHO RECEIVED the Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction this year for his Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan, told Boston Globe writer David Mehegan in May about a working-class upbringing in Winthrop - "the Shirley branch of the Winthrop Library – that’s where I did all my reading; we had no books in the house" - and a "nomadic" academic career at UMass Boston, Hosei and Hitotsubashi universities in Tokyo, and Harvard, Wisconsin, Washington, Sheffield in England, and other universities. Nomadic no more: In the wake of the Pulitzer announcement, Bix has been offered and has accepted a tenured position at SUNY Binghamton.
