Inclusivity in Writing and Recognition of Immigrant Writers

The importance of inclusivity in writing and recognition of immigrant writers is emphasized through the example of the Pulitzer founder, an immigrant from Hungary.

The call is made for countries to embrace freedom of mobility as a human right and not to close doors to others once they have gained power or wealth.
