ThisIsNotCivilization



This is Not Civilization:
A Novel by Robert Rosenberg tells an inspired, sweeping story of a young Peace Corps volunteer exploring various avenues of service. The novel includes multiple perspectives, from volunteer to aid recipient and from domestic service to international. Whether running a teen center on an Indian reservation, teaching English to factory workers in Kyrgyzstan, or organizing earthquake relief efforts in Turkey, Rosenberg uses insight, realism, and humor to examine the costs of trying to do good in the world.
