Second printing. No jacket. Top corner of front board and spine base bumped.
224 pp. Illustrated with engravings and photographs. "A small but significant number of people, mostly young, are abandoning the American Dream of material success and rugged individualism to attempt to live in poverty and cooperation. A few of these communes have been established in cities, but most are part of a back-to-nature movement in which modern technology is rejected in an attempt to find a simple and more natural way of life. Many people have been surprised at the attraction of the communal life in our technological, materialistic, and success-oriented society. The surprise is unwarranted. The commune movement is an integral part of American history, as shown by Daniel Cohen in this fascinating history of the commune movement in America, from early times until the present day."--rear board
