Description
An uplifting look at communal living from a trail-blazing anthropologist.
Throughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In Everyday Utopia, anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from these experiments—from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing feminists of the French Revolution, from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal.
She shows why utopian thinking is essential to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home.
