Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging

We. A wise friend once told me that the most important question each of us answers is: “when we say ‘we’ who do we mean?” The togetherness that can be formed when the answer to the question involves a close knit community or small group is part of the topic covered in Sebastian Junger’s book titled, Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging. He uses this subject to explore the challenge of returning veterans as they leave close knit communities, especially in war zones, and try to assimilate into the complexity of our modern society. Junger’s thinking is clear, the topic is interesting, and the book will appeal to any reader who thinks about community and building strong bonds within society. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Tribe from amazon.com.
