So I agree with the writer's conclusion that there must be alternative visions of resilience. I've even grown sick of the word as it has really been taken up by primarily neoliberal statist/bureaucrat types (and their nonprofit junior partners) more than anything.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Camille</div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div><font face="serif">Camille E.
