Tuairisgeul

Ann an àm far a bheil mì-chinnt a’ sìor fhàs, dè a bhiodh coltach ri comann-sòisealta a tha dha-rìribh seasmhach?

Ann an toiseach tòiseachaidh, tha an tuathanach agus saidheansair sòisealta Chris Smaje ag argamaid gur e eagrachadh comann-shòisealta timcheall air tuathanachas beag-sgèile a tha a’ tabhann an fhreagairt as ciallaiche, as ciallaiche agus as reusanta do atharrachadh clìomaid agus èiginn eile sìobhaltachd - agus gum bi an cothrom as fheàrr aig a’ chinne-daonna air mairsinn beò.

A’ tarraing air raon farsaing de stòran bho iomadh cuspair, Àm ri Teachd Tuathanas Beag a’ dèanamh anailis air na feachdan iom-fhillte a tha a’ dèanamh atharrachadh sòisealta do-sheachanta; a’ mìneachadh mar as urrainn do choimhearsnachdan àiteachais ionadail fèin-eisimeileach, le glè bheag de charbon, ar cumhachdachadh gus dèiligeadh ris na h-atharrachaidhean sin gu soirbheachail; agus a’ sgrùdadh nan slighean airson an lèirsinn seo a thoirt gu buil gu poilitigeach.

A’ cur dùbhlan ri gliocas gnàthach agus ri planaichean utopiach, Àm ri Teachd Tuathanas Beag a’ tabhann mion-sgrùdadh tùsail, mionaideach air duilgheadasan olc agus cothroman falaichte ann an dòigh a tha a’ soilleireachadh na slighe a dh’ionnsaigh eaconamaidhean ionadail obrachail, fèin-sholarachadh èifeachdach, iomadachd àiteachais agus talamh co-roinnte.
