520    "Crisis has a way of laying bare our truest selves: who we
       trust, which principles and impulses we heed, whose lives 
       we deem expendable. As it ravaged millions of lives, the 
       Covid-19 pandemic revealed and accentuated the dividing 
       lines that had already, for decades, splintered American 
       public life. Against the backdrop of the 2020 presidential
       election, misinformation regimes, and the transformation 
       of the facemask into a flagrant political symbol, 
       acclaimed sociologist Eric Klinenberg takes careful 
       inventory of how the U.S. and other nations handled the 
       extraordinary challenges of that seminal year. Any autopsy
       searches for causes, and in this book, Klinenberg uses 
       seven people's piercingly vivid reflections to examine how
       communities across the globe reckoned with the profound 
       tragedy and loss of 2020-and how they built networks of 
       solidarity in an attempt to survive. We move from the 
       gross negligence in Canadian for-profit nursing homes, to 
       England's gradualist approach to instating robust Covid 
       safety protocols, to early policy innovations in Australia,
       South Korea, and Taiwan, which dramatically curtailed the 
       virus' spread. According to Klinenberg, our capacity to 
       bear witness to the rampant failures and successful models
       of resilience of 2020 will help shape our responses to the
       escalating climate emergency, the ongoing fight for racial
       justice, and widening global economic disparities. This 
       book is both mirror and roadmap-a reflection of the social
       divisions that plague our world and a set of principles 
       for how we might approach the next global catastrophe 
       differently"--|cProvided by publisher.
