Compare The Search for Political Community by Paul Lichterman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book challenges the myth that individualism necessarily weakens commitments to the common good. It examines environmental and other activist groups in which individualism sometimes enhances political commitment. Rather than criticize individualism and favor a return to "traditional" values, Paul Lichterman examines the untraditional, personalized politics of many recent social movements and invites us to rethink common understandings of commitment, community, and individualism in a post-traditional world. | The Search for Political Community by Paul Lichterman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
