Tsunami Watch; Power, Pain and Progress in the American Narrative

by Barry Howard, Daniel Kosten

Overview

Current upheavals in American society continue to perplex even the most astute gurus, confuse our most poignant political pundits, and baffle analysts on a daily basis. Is there a viable paradigm that might bring clarity to this seeming chaos? Tsunami Watch exposes the reality and implications of unavoidable power shifts within American society, and offers a fresh perspective on how we, as global citizens, might approach them in the most constructive manner.
Often subtle, silent, and subconscious, current sociological phenomena need to be publicly examined and openly discussed if America intends to navigate them well, and mitigate their historically devastating consequences.
Will America embrace the value and unfathomed potential of collective diversity, unified in purpose, or will we succumb to the Great Experiment's newest challenge?
