Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life, and How to Take Them Down is a groundbreaking and ultimately hopeful exploration of what divides the citizens of the United States and how we the people might be able to reunite. Join us for a conversation about the book with author Anand Pandian and University of Richmond anthropology professor Dr. Miguel Diaz-Barriga. Pandian argues that while our impasses draw from deep histories of segregation and suspicion, the work of mutual aid and caretaking can help us surface more radical visions for a life in common with others and teach us how to meet strangers in this land as potential kin.
