WHY SHOULD WE BOTHER learning about other generations’ attempts to bring justice, peace, and beauty into this tattered world—particularly in these times when, for so many, the urgency of immediate survival demands our attention? Why in this razor-edge age of rising flood waters, rising cancers, and rising right-wing lockstep should anyone care about what pre-dated the burning Now?
I admit that, when I was filled with the hubris of youth, I had little interest in what went before. The subject as presented in academia was too often viewed as a big bore, and despite my mother’s attempts to awaken me to our ancestors’ journeys into the collective timeline, I hadn’t yet grasped why anyone would give a hoot. Besides, being young appears to be a time for bursting upon the moment, all the while believing that one is inventing a storyline that has never been thought of before.
