No Contact: When Ideology Severs Relationships

Why are families and friendships increasingly breaking apart over politics and ideology? Drawing from her new book, No Contact, Noelle Mering explores the forces that have made estrangement increasingly common, and how politics has come to cannibalize families and friendships. She offers a path toward recovering the freedom, resilience, and sense of belonging that help relationships survive real disagreement.
