Jim Hoagland, Distinguished Journalist on World Affairs, Dies at 84
“I spent a good part of my childhood telling myself lies about race,” he told the Columbia, SC, newspaper The State in 1981. “So I was attuned to how people could deceive themselves about it.”
The series won the 1971 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting; became the basis of a book by Mr. Hoagland, “South Africa: Civilizations in Conflict” (1972); and is widely credited with helping to introduce apartheid as a moral issue in American foreign policy.
Mr. Hoagland was a strong advocate for American power, but also skeptical of how it was deployed — as when President Bill Clinton, for example, pushed to expand NATO eastward in the 1990s. Mr. Hoagland feared the expansion would incite a response from Russia.
