Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Citizens have lost confidence in their public institutions: social welfare, school, and healthcare programs. This book is about reconnecting citizens to their social institutions and reinvigorating these bodies so they are more effective. The central premise is that communities and families can be strengthened when everyone takes responsibility for themselves and works in partnership with others to restore social structures. Book News Annotation:Shows how individuals can reconnect to and revitalize their social
institutions, and demonstrates why partnerships between people and
social institutions are essential to the well-being of families and
thriving communities. Offers a method for engaging people in the
redesign of social institutions and shows how this method empowers
people to take control of their lives. Includes many examples and
anecdotes, and advice for the creation of a culture of self-
governance. Nelson is associate director for the Jordan Institute for
Families at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
