Reviews

A tremendous set of insights from an exceptional group of scholars, presented in short pieces that are digestible in one sitting. A wonderful chronicling of an extraordinary year. -- Shamus Khan, coauthor of <i>Sexual Citizens: Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus</i> Here, we see some of our greatest thinkers and writers make sense of a year unlike any other-a plague year, a year of liberation talk, a year of failed states, and resilient communities. This book's scope is global, its authors diverse in their expertise and perspective, and very accomplished in their fields. -- Jennifer C. Lena, coauthor of <i>Measuring Culture</i>
