abstract noteAt the opening of the twenty-first century, when humanity is struggling to come to terms with the exigencies of global interdependence, the critique and deconstruction of anachronistic social constructs is a necessary but insufficient undertaking in the humanities. The humanities will remain relevant to the extent that humanities scholars also articulate constructive insights regarding how to approach globalization in a just, sustainable, and humane manner. Toward this end, much can be learned from naturally occurring, yet widely overlooked, experiments with global integration and global citizenship. This paper presents a case study of the international Bahá'í community in order to illustrate such an approach, and to invite engaged dialogue between constructive and deconstructive analytical approaches in the humanities.
