ON COMMUNITY (IN THE MOMENT) (PB)

This book explores how overuse of the word ‘community’ has caused it to become disconnected from the reality it signifies. Here, Plett suggests an alternative, moving towards a definition that acknowledges community as necessary for our existence – a source of comfort, knowledge and love – even while it has the potential to become dogmatic, cliquey or outright harmful. On Community invites us to be more careful and intentional with our language, to consider how we relate to those we know – and to those we don’t know at all.
