Re: [xmca] Gary Alan Fine's Tiny Publics

He also published a critique of ":social capital" at the same time as I was critiquing that discourse. I thought he was too "sectarian" in his approach, but then again, that's what others thought of me. I look forward to reading what he has to say about mesolevel societal phenomena.

This book has gotten some interest here locally at the lab and I thought it
might be of interest more widely (with a "strong recommend" for Andy).

It is Gary Alan Fine's new book Tiny Publics and in it he argues for the
importance of paying attention to meso- level organization (and even seems
to argue that this is the most "consequential" level of social life - small
(tiny!) though it may be).
