Today, it looks like we have become the problem. What happened, and what can We the People do about it?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Every day, the news delivers the same story: as a nation, we are so divided, we spend more time picking fights than solving our most urgent problems. It's exhausting and exasperating. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eRemaking the Space Between Us\u003c\/i\u003e, Smith invites us to see what lies behind this story: a growing trend in which more and more of us are seeking refuge in like-minded groups while distancing from groups different from our own. Although it's a natural response to the uncertainty and adversity of the past fifty years, this trend is fraying our social fabric, poisoning our politics, and weakening the moral foundation upon which our future together rests. \u003cbr\u003e Despite all we are up against, Smith shows why we need not--and why we must not--give up on each other or give into forces so overwhelming they make us feel powerless. Through emotionally affecting stories, Smith recounts how tens of thousands of citizens across the U.S. are working together under the radar to bridge divides, heal our nation, and rebuild our democracy. Each story unearths the power we have to open the space within groups and close the distance across them. \u003cbr\u003e These short, readable essays will inspire and empower you to remake the space between us so we stop fighting against each other to get our own way and start fighting \u003ci\u003ealongside \u003c\/i\u003eeach other to create a future that is better for all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballast Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962202312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308","brand":"Diana McLain Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43799747068085,"sku":"9781962202312","price":24.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4d5b02c4-d14f-4b20-ab10-caf6c232f574.jpg?v=1711477750","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/remaking-the-space-between-us-how-citizens-can-work-together-to-build-a-better-future-for-all-9781962202312","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
