En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the crucial role of small groups, termed "tiny publics," in shaping social life and fostering civic engagement. Arguing that these intimate circles—like families, sports teams, and work colleagues—are foundational to society, the author draws on over thirty-five years of ethnographic research. Through diverse examples, he illustrates how these groups develop unique cultures and provide social capital, enabling members to engage meaningfully in larger societal discourses. The insights highlight how grassroots actions can influence broader social structures.
