Sommario/riassunto |
|
"A scholarly and fascinating look at the concept of the commune around the world, Globalization of Communes: 1950-2010 is a must for anyone who wants to better understand cooperative living in a more impersonal world." -Library Bookwatch Oved observes that those who predicted the failure of communes and intentional communities failed to appreciate the extent to which people in today's society aspire to communal life. |
