Description

The Modern Utopian: Alternative Communities of the '60s and '70s In the 1960s and 1970s, alternative communities swept the nation, redefining progressive culture and inspiring a new way of living. This photo-illustrated compilation of articles explores the fabled Drop City, Morningstar Ranch, Timothy Leary at Millbrook, Detroit's Translove Energies, Twin Oaks, and Stephen Gaskin's Farm, among others. The book delves into the history and significance of these communities, which continue to thrive today. As the world faces new challenges such as global warming, recession, and peak oil, people are once again turning to collective living. The Modern Utopian reveals how the successes and failures of the past have empowered a new generation to form intentional communities. Contributions from notable writers, including Alan Watts and Nick Tosches, add depth and insight to this fascinating exploration. With an afterword by author Timothy Miller, this book provides a unique perspective on the enduring legacy of alternative communities.
