This month we discuss "Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fig ht Inequality\, Polarization\, and the Decline of Civic Life" by Eric Klin enberg. .\nhttps://pgcmls.libnet.info/event/16541739 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
W e are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial\, religious\, and cultural lines\, leading to a level of pol arization that the country hasn&rsquo\;t seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together and find common purpo se. But how\, exactly\, can this be done? In Palaces for the People\, Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democra tic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries\, childcare centers\, churches\, and parks where crucial connect ions are formed. Interweaving his own research with examples from around t he globe\, Klinenberg shows how &ldquo\;social infrastructure&rdquo\; is h elping to solve some of our most pressing societal challenges. Richly repo rted and ultimately uplifting\, Palaces for the People offers a blueprint for bridging our seemingly unbridgeable divides.
