The idea for this collection of essays emerged from conversations
about how the art of civil discourse has become increasingly less
visible in American society today, particularly in political
activities. At the same time, it is frustrating to realize that
more Americans vote for contestants on shows like American Idol
than usually vote in the November elections. The themes throughout
New York Abstains "Courteously" touch on the very heart of what it
means to be a responsible citizen, both in our own country and in
the global community. While so many individuals speak about values
today, it ultimately seems that the true values undergirding the
United States are being overshadowed by partisan politics and
private ideologies. The book's contributors take a wide variety of
approaches to civil discourse and civic responsibility. Each essay
in this collection stands on its own and grows out of the author's
unique discipline and experience. The essays, however, are the
fruit of ongoing collaboration and intersect with each other in
many intriguing ways.
