Today it has blossomed into a fundamental precept of civic education, reflecting interracial distrust, personal and political alienation, and a profound suspicion of others. In this powerful and eloquent essay, Danielle Allen, a 2002 MacArthur Fellow, takes this maxim back to Little Rock, rooting out the seeds of distrust to replace them with "a citizenship of political friendship." Returning to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954 and to the famous photograph of Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine, being cursed by fellow "citizen" Hazel Bryan, Allen argues that we have yet to complete the transition to political friendship that this moment offered. By combining brief readings of philosophers and political theorists with personal reflections on race politics in Chicago, Allen proposes strikingly practical techniques of citizenship. These tools of political friendship, Allen contends, can help us become more trustworthy to others and overcome the fossilized distrust among us. Sacrifice is the key concept that bridges citizenship and trust, according to Allen. She uncovers the ordinary, daily sacrifices citizens make to keep democracy working-and offers methods for recognizing and reciprocating those sacrifices. Trenchant, incisive, and ultimately hopeful, Talking to Strangers is nothing less than a manifesto for a revitalized democratic citizenry. 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aCultural pluralism$zUnited States 606 $aCivil society$zUnited States 606 $aTrust$zUnited States 606 $aIntergroup relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aTrust 615 0$aIntergroup relations 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aAllen$b Danielle S.$f1971-$0967171 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455152603321 996 $aTalking to strangers$92195649 997 $aUNINA
