Industry Reviews
"A rich and wonderfully varied collection. These compelling essays ? fine examples of clear, politically engaged theorizing ? explore many dimensions of community and communal change. Further, the authors challenge themselves and their readers to imagine concrete actions and policies that might turn their visions of truly diverse communities into reality." Martha Ackelsberg, Smith College

"This significant and original collection of essays enables scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explore a set of vexed yet centrally important questions about the meanings of community. Alperson has edited an impressively coherent volume whose authors refuse facile formulations, and instead develop insightful and often profound analyses of the ideals and realities of community. This is a must-read book." Judith Gerson, Rutgers University
