As globalization draws us together economically, are the things we value converging or diverging? These twin questions led Michael Ignatieff to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of an answer. What we share, he found, are what he calls \"ordinary virtues\" tolerance, forgiveness, trust, and resilience. When conflicts break out, these virtues are easily exploited by the politics of fear and exclusion, reserved for one's own group but denied to others. Yet these ordinary virtues are the key to healing and reconciliation on both a local and global scale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Makes for illuminating reading.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Simon Winchester, \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Engaging, articulate and richly descriptive...
