The word of the day is deracinate:

[f. F. déracine-r (in OF. desr-), f. dé-, des-, L.
DIS- + racine root; see -ATE³ 7.] 
    trans. To pluck or tear up by the roots; to uproot, eradicate, exterminate. lit. and fig.  (OED)


"On the surface, the setup seems the predictable folderol of a comedy of manners; by degrees, however, the characterizations become an extraordinary metaphor that resonates with our own noisy, deracinating moment."
