| Summary: | John LeBlanc and Carolyn Medine draw on literary and artistic works throughout history to discuss the topics of dislocation, peacemaking, and justice. Part I opens with the current geopolitical environment of homelessness and “transitivity,” primarily through a survey of postcolonial authors such as Homi K. Bhabha, Ashis Nandy, and Edward Said. Part II engages ancient writers such as Aristotle, Sophocles, and Euripides through comparisons to modern counterparts such as Michel Foucault, Abraham Lincoln, and Toni Morrison. The book closes with part III, which explores religion and politics through a discussion of “the kinds of human meaning” and human relationships from the perspectives of authors ranging from Eric Voegelin to Jean-Francois Lyotard and Martin Luther King Jr. (p. 9). |
