{"product_id":"9781555972028","title":"The Graywolf Annual Ten: Changing Community","description":"For nearly all of human history, our notion of community was centered on the family, tribe, and\/or village. The centrality of that notion is at the core of our values. The 20th century brought air travel, a revolution in communications, the internationalization of culture and business, the growth of an \"international language\"--all in all, a complete overturning of our historic understanding of community.\u003cp\u003eAs a result, we now have to think about the many different levels and many new faces of community. Our families are nuclear, extended, and broken; few of us live in one place our entire lives, and most of our cities, towns, and regions change beyond recognition every few years. The concept of the nation-state itself is breaking down, and people are more closely identifying with biogegional, religious, or ethnic communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncorporating essays from a diverse range of sources such as \u003ci\u003eParabola\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChronicles: A Magazine of American Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, and The Well, a national computerized bulletin board, \u003ci\u003eChanging Community\u003c\/i\u003e examines the ways that our ideas of community are evolving.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055236137200,"sku":"9781555972028","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555972028_p0.jpg?v=1763755989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555972028","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
