Reviews

“In his latest book, Michel Lallement explores two utopian communities – Twin Oaks and Acorn – formed in the 1960s, examining the concrete challenges they faced and managed. A beautiful historical ethnography and innovative sociology, essential reading for anyone interested in ‘forward dreams’ of equality.” Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley
