L. Skach went to Iraq to help revise the constitution. She survived a missile barrage in the Green Zonean event that proved a breaking point in her thinking about constitutions. In short: they dont really work.In How to Be a Citizen, Skach calls to move beyond constitutions. She argues that just as complex natural systems spontaneously generate order, we can, too. Looking to pandemic gardens, Reggio-Emilia schools, and community-driven safety patrols, she envisions not government by force, but society that is local, cultivated, and true. Grounded in six principles as simple as a call to spend time on a park bench, this book shows how community spaces, education, and markets can be reshaped to nurture cooperation and encourage flourishing. ?Equal parts personal, philosophical, and practical, How to Be a Citizen invites us to see society not as something imposed by law, but rather something we create together....4317110How to Be a Citizen291354https://www.gandhi.com.mx/how-to-be-a-citizen-9781541605541/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4267301/image.jpg?v=638446579117000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781541605541_W3siaWQiOiJjNzM3ZDk3OC04MTliLTQzNjEtYjJmZi02ZmRmYmUwNTRiMmYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM1NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjYzLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI5MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781541605541_An expert on the writing of constitutions argues that the path to a thriving society begins with forgetting about themThe oldest question in political philosophy is simple: What is the best way to organize society? The question used to occupy legal scholar C. L. Skach, too, whose answer was found in crafting good constitutions, until her participation in helping to do so, including in Iraq in 2009, led her to step back from law as the answer.?? ? As she argues instead in How to Be a Citizen, the good life in society shouldnt come as an imposition through law but should instead emerge from bottom-up interaction. Skach lays out six principlesinformed by everything from civil wars to civil rights struggles, from the responsibilities of bystanders to mutual aid in the pandemicto help us build small societies of our, and our neighbors, making. The lessons are sometimes deceptively simple: share your tomatoes from your garden, cultivate and spend time in unstructured social spaces, teach children to negotiate their social interactions, rather than prescribe such interactions for them. But the aggregate makes clear that many small steps, in concert, can lead to beautiful things, all without the law.?? ? Equal parts personal and philosophical, and unfailingly wise, How to Be a Citizen invites us to see society not as something imposed by law but rather something we create together.??...(*_*)9781541605541_An expert on the writing of constitutions argues that the path to a thriving society begins with forgetting about them: "Not James Madison but Bob Dylan or Annie Lennox should be our guide" (Mark Tushnet).In 2009, constitutional scholar C.
