Contents:

Social capital, justice and diversity : an introduction -- The Progressive Era : past paradise? -- The present malaise in civic participation : empirical and normative dimensions -- The causes of "decline" in social capital theory -- Civic trust and shared norms -- Beyond Bowling alone : social capital in twenty-first-century America -- Justice in diverse communities : lessons for the future.

Summary: A critique of Robert Putnam's social capital thesis from the perspective of women and cultural minorities in America. Arneil questions whether Putnam's thesis of decline applies equally to all Americans, concluding that lessons learned from America's civic past must be used to build just and diverse communities in the future.
