Lannan Foundation announced that it has awarded its 2002 Prize for Cultural Freedom to the writer Arundhati Roy of Delhi, India.
The Prize for Cultural Freedom was established to recognize people whose extraordinary and courageous work celebrates the human right to freedom of imagination, inquiry, and expression. As defined by the foundation, cultural freedom is the right of individuals and communities to define and protect valued and diverse ways of life currently threatened by globalization.
Roy will receive $350,000 in prize money, and she has announced that the money will be shared by 50 people's movements, publications, educational institutions, theater groups, and individuals in India.
