Through exhaustive field research in a setting viewed as a virtual social laboratory, it provides fascinating insights into many social concerns involving order and disorder in revolutionary and evolutionary change.It examines such issues as conflict, violence, stratification, and interdependence in the self-proclaimed cooperative, peaceful, classless, and self-sufficient "new society." The reasons for the many failures as well as successes of experimental efforts are outlined, along with enduring impacts on participants and the surrounding region.American university studies.Series XI,Anthropology/sociology ;vol. 46.Communal livingUnited StatesCase studiesSubcultureUnited StatesCase studiesUnited StatesSocial conditions1960-1980Case studies.fastElectronic booksCommunal livingSubculture307.77/4/0973Laffan Barry915439DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910170974903321Communal organization and social transition2052133UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
