The Modern Utopian. Alternative Communities of the 60s and 70s

Back to the Land. Communes. Intentional Communities. Sustainable Living. It happened in the late '60s and early '70s; it's coming back again.
Forty years ago, a corrupt government, rampant consumerism, ecological concerns, and the alienation of modern life drove thousands of idealistic young people to the countryside with dreams of starting their own communities. Some were dazzling creative experiments that burned bright and brief; others evolved through the years and still exist today.
Global warming and peak oil concerns, eco-housing, permaculture, and even the Burning Man festival are windows into this tradition of social transformation that is reshaping our culture today.
The Modern Utopian by Richard Fairfield is the definitive exploration of the alternative communities that reshaped progressive culture in the '70s. Fairfield spent the better part of a decade visiting and reporting on communes of all types to create an intimate and fascinating view into communal living. This expansively illustrated compilation visits the notorious Drop City, John Sinclair's Translove Energies in Detroit, Stephen Gaskin's farm, and dozens of other alternative communities across the nation.
In new supplementary articles, author Timothy Miller (Religious Movements in the United States) discusses some of the ten thousand intentional communities that now span the USA, from today's countercultural edge to senior citizen cohousing.
Portraits of several 70s communes and experimental groups and the trend of intentional communities of today
Back to the Land. Urban communes. Sustainable cooperatives. Thirty years ago, alternative communities swept the nation. Today, with sustainability, peak oil and retirement concerns, people of all ages are reviving and expanding notions of cooperative living as new communities form and thrive.
The Modern Utopian is the definitive exploration of the alternative communities that fascinated a nation and redefined progressive culture in the ‘60s and ‘70s, documented by those who knew it and lived it. This photo-illustrated compilation of articles visits the fabled Drop City, Morningstar Ranch, Timothy Leary at Millbrook, Detroits Translove Energies, the still-thriving Twin Oaks and Stephen Gaskins Farm, and dozens of other across the nation.
An afterword by author Timothy Miller (Religious Movements in the United States) reveals how several hundred intentional communities now span the USA and more form every year.
Contributions include writings by Alan Watts, Nick Tosches, and The Underground Press Syndicate.
Richard Fairfield is author of the Penguin book “Communes USA” (1972). Fairfield self-published dozens of magazines in the '70s, documenting experimental community groups across the country.
