In 1987 she won a MacArthur Fellowship, which she used to move to South America. Her experiences there led to her first work, Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America. Her work has appeared in The New Republic, The New Yorker, and the Washington Post. She is a fellow at the World Policy Institute, and won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction,[2] as well as a National Book Award in 1995[3] for her book The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism, about the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. Currently, she is an editorial writer for The New York Times. Rosenberg received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Northwestern University. As a youth outside Lansing, Michigan, Rosenberg was active in her synagogue and regional Jewish youth groups, including serving as Songleader for Michigan State Temple Youth in 1976-1977.
