"A Civics of Interdependence: Colonial and Liberatory Conflict and Collaboration from Pennsylvania to Ontario"

Embracing the truth of interdependence calls us toward new kinds of civic, ecological, and global understanding. This understanding begins from the foundational reality of interdependence and hybridity as our human-ecological condition. It asks how we operate ethically within the communities and systems of which we are part and which support us, concretizing the global through the specificity of the local. YET - many of us are rather unfamiliar with "the local," and particularly its relationship with (historically formed) transnational processes.
