Book Announcement: The Tragedy of Ukraine
In a nutshell, it argues that the conflict in Ukraine has deep domestic roots. Reconciliation will require untangling these roots and embracing a change of heart, or catharsis. Classical Greek tragedy is an ideal tool for this, since it once performed a similar function in Athenian society.
An extended sample of the text is also available on Google Books (short link t.ly/EkeZ).
