| Sommario/riassunto: | This unique study traces the life cycle of a counterculture commune of the late 1960s as part of a regional network and national movement. 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. | |
