Soul of a Citizen: Living With Conviction in a Cynical Time

Soul of a Citizen examines how ordinary citizens can make their voices heard and how actions count in a time when we’re told neither matter. It looks at how people get involved in larger community issues and what stops them from getting involved; how they burn out in exhaustion or maintain their commitment for the long haul; how involvement can give them a powerful sense of connection and purpose, even when the road is difficult. Assigned on hundreds of campuses and in every discipline, Soul of a Citizen has helped students of all backgrounds and political perspectives learn to make a difference—and begin journeys of involvement that may last their entire lives.
