Title: The Sky is Falling?
Review: As I'm sure many readers will agree, this book is indeed disturbing. What is most disturbing to me, however,is that a book based on narrow and limited research has become mandatory reading for US policy makers and diplomats. President Clinton proportedly has a copy of this on his bedside table.The issues that Kaplan addresses are broad and complex. More broad and complex than he presents them. We need to look at what scholars and local citizens have to say about the causes of and solutions to problems in communities. Unlike Kaplan, I don't believe the world is going to hell in a handbasket. I do think, however, that sometimes an uninformed, blanket response to global and national problems often exacerbates them. I also believe when we come to view an area as beyond hope (as Kaplan would have us believe), we are really just making it easier for ourselves to sleep at night when we abandon such an area, whether it be a Sierra Leone rainforest or a Chicago slum.
