description: Where were we in 1960, where have we come in the years since, how did we get here, and where are we going? These questions guided the 22 speakers in a public lecture series presented by the USM Muskie School that examined Maine's changing economic, political, and social landscape. This book is a collection of essays that expand upon those talks and explore significant changes in Maine, important policy alternatives, and the prospects for the decade ahead. On such diverse subjects as housing, education, fishing, forestry, poverty, women's roles, the arts, being Native American, politics, and land use, they aspire to challenge conventional thinking, offer a new understanding of Maine and its place in the world today, and guide civic life and dialogue in the years ahead.
