Trauma, promise, and the millennium

About this book

"The Evolution of Alienation: Trauma, Promise, and the Millennium presents a collection of essays that examine the prevalence of alienation in the contemporary world. The book is divided into four sections, each with a focus on how alienation is produced and, perhaps, overcome. Although the very concern with alienation shows awareness of trauma, there are, throughout the book, hints of promise - in technology, in loving and creative domesticity, in activism, and through grassroots initiatives in education."--Jacket.
