The book consists of a selection of essays which explore the meanings of community in a fractured world. The essays offer readers concepts such as the invisible bridge, the nejmar (the bridge builder) and the xenopolis (the city of others) which might be useful in order to repair the societies which have experienced violence and abuse.
The book is introduced by Timothy Snyder and prefaced by Mayhill C. Fowler. It is divided into three parts, CONCEPTS, PLACES and PEOPLE.
It has been issued in a prestigious series Rochester Studies in East and Central Europe.
