A Desire for Equality : Living and Working in Concrete Utopian Communities Hardback

Part of the Alternatives to Capitalism in the 21st Century series
Hardback
Description
Since the late 1960s, individuals rebelling against societal norms have embraced intentional communities as a means to challenge capitalism and manifest their ideals.
Combining archival work with an ethnographic approach, this book examines how these communities have implemented the utopias they claim to have in their daily lives. Focusing primarily on intentional communities in the United States who have adopted egalitarian principles of life and work, notably Twin Oaks in Virginia, the author examines the lives and actions of members to further understand these concrete utopias.
In doing so, the book demonstrates that intentional communities aren't relics of a bygone era but rather catalysts capable of shaping our future.
