Books on gun violence and immigration win prizes

Prize officials told The Associated Press on Monday that Gary Younge's "Another Day in the Death of America: A Chronicle of Ten Short Lives" won the $10,000 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize for combining literary excellence and social concern.

All three awards are presented by the Lukas Prize Project, named for the late author and journalist and co-administered by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.
