      abstract = {Public deliberation and group discussion can strengthen  civil society, even when participants share a historical  animosity. Recently, scholars have begun to study the  dialogue that sustains these conversations, especially its  power to unite and divide. In these twenty-four essays,  contributors read public exchanges and their sustained  dialogue in the context of race relations, social justice,  ethnic conflicts, public safety, public management,  community design, and family therapy. They especially focus  on the college campus and its network of organizations and  actors, in which open discussion might seem like an  idealistic if not foolhardy gesture, but nevertheless is a  crucial component of civic harmony.},
