THIS is the liberal universalism that I love so dearly. There are many reasonable criticisms that can be made of this work—it’s American-centric, it focuses only on general experiences and not deeply individual ones, etc., but I think there’s a really important message here. It’s really a message that needs preserving in an age of divisive identity politics and integral nationalism.
