Requests:  0 Summary:  "At the end of his first inaugural address, delivered to a nation deeply divided and on the brink of civil war, Abraham Lincoln concluded, 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.' Lincoln's words ring true today, especially for a new generation raised on political discourse that consists of vitriolic social media and the echo chambers of polarized news media. Michael Austin combines American history, classical theories of democracy, and cognitive psychology to argue that the health of our democracy depends on our ability to disagree about important things while remaining friends. He argues that individual citizens can dramatically improve the quality of our democracy by changing the way that we interact with one another. Each of his main chapters advances a single argument, supported by contemporary evidence and drawing on lessons from American history."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Au Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.65097 Au Checked In Add Copy to MyList
