The readable Ignatieff

An unofficial collection of the Liberal leader’s freely available writings, for all your educational or objectionable purposes

The readable IgnatieffGoogle Scholar—a search engine for academic journals and papers—is a fairly decent way to kill a few hours. It’s also what started this, an unofficial collection of Michael Ignatieff’s freely available writings, assembled here for all your educational or objectionable purposes.

Do try to contain yourselves.

(Note. Prospect Magazine had made available all of Ignatieff’s writing for them, but the link seems to have died since they redesigned their website. Older pieces from the Guardian and Observer are archived, but require a subscription or a fee. Academic essays and papers that are similarly hidden from view were not included.)
