MAWA: Make America Work Again is not a prediction…
…but a cautionary tale. While the dystopian near-future
depicted within these pages may seem exaggerated, its roots lie in very real anxieties and trends in contemporary
American society. The novel explores a potential outcome of unchecked political polarization and the erosion of worker protections. It's a scenario where the lines between employer and employee, between boss and worker, become
increasingly blurred and where the pursuit of power
overshadows the fundamental principles of fairness and justice. The central conflict isn't merely about wages or benefits; it is about the very soul of the workplace – and the soul of the nation itself. It’s a satirical look at the potential consequences of extremist ideologies taking hold,
influencing not just national politics but also profoundly altering the daily lives of ordinary people in their
workplaces. The narrative serves as a platform to examine how such ideologies can manifest in interpersonal conflicts, impacting everything from daily interactions to complex legal battles. Within this context, the “DEEP” model – a conflict resolution strategy emphasizing Discussion,
Embracing differences, Encouraging respect, and Promoting personal responsibility – emerges as a potent counterpoint, highlighting how empathy and communication can bridge divides,even in the most challenging of environments. This is not simply a work of fiction; it’s a call for awareness and a plea for proactive engagement to ensure a more just and equitable future for all workers. The characters within these pages represent the diverse tapestry of the American
workforce, each grappling with the evolving challenges of their dystopian world. Their journey is one of resilience, courage, and the unwavering belief in the power of collective action to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. It is a reminder of the importance of unity,
collaboration and empathy in the face of adversity. The book intends to stimulate dialogue, provoke critical thinking, and spark action. It's a story about the fight for fairness, the quest for justice, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
