Combines insights from Alexis de Tocqueville, John Dewey, and Jane Addams with sociology and addresses questions about civic and religious life that elude the 'social capital' concept. This book argues that to create civic relationships, groups need more than the right political beliefs or resources; they must learn new ways of being groups.
