The new communes

by Ron E Roberts

Explores the commune culture from "freefolk" to Weathermen, tracing its roots to the Utopian communities of the 1700s and shattering many of the myths commonly associated with group living. Including discussions with past and present communalists, Roberts reveals the most communes do not threaten today's society and that internal pressures are often more damaging to the commune than the social forces from without. --From publisher description.
