description: "Alphabet City 7: Social Insecurity is an uneasy testament to a world terrorized by its own memories and entranced by fantasies of an apocalyptic future. In the face of ethnic cleansing, new mass epidemics, and multinational capitalism, Social Insecurity imagines the possibilities for a planet struggling to realize the promise of a new global consciousness. This issue includes texts from poet and journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski, novelist Nuruddin Farah, legal theorist Drucilla Cornell, philosopher Alphonso Lingis, postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak; and images from artist Shirin Neshat, filmmaker John Greyson, architect Laura Kurgan, among others. Alphabet City's editorial collective is distinguished not only by its presentation of the highest quality contemporary literature, essays, photography, art, and architecture, but also by its commitment to design principles that have earned it high praise and awards."
