We need community to live. But what does it look like? Why does it
often feel like it's slipping away? We are all hinged to some
definition of a community, be it as simple as where we live,
complex as the beliefs we share, or as intentional as those we call
family. In an episodic personal essay, Casey Plett draws on a range
of firsthand experiences to start a conversation about the larger
implications of community as a word, an idea, and a symbol. With
each thread a cumulative definition of community, and what it has
come to mean to Plett, emerges. Looking at phenomena from
transgender literature, to Mennonite history, to hacker houses of
Silicon Valley, and the rise of nationalism in North America, Plett
delves into the thorny intractability of community's boons and
faults. Deeply personal, authoritative in its illuminations, On
Community is an essential contribution to the larger cultural
discourse that asks how, and to what socio-political ends, we form
bonds with one another.Â
