Community. It's a word we are used to hearing everywhere from political speeches to fast-food advertisements. But can we really define it? Using her own experiences, joyful or painful, in communities, as well a strong analysis of political and cultural shifts, Casey Plett shows how overuse of the word has caused it to become disconnected from the reality it signifies.
