Books in the Utopianism and Communitarianism series

This text analyses the impact of premigration origins, postmigration experiences and sponsor policies on the development of a cluster of Jewish colonies in southern New Jersey. It focuses on the transformation from agrarian, communal colonies to private mixed industrial-agricultural communities.

The Oneida Community was one of the more unusual utopian social experiments in 19th-century America. This volume reproduces the diary of a Community member written in 1876-7. It deals with love, aggression, jealousy and the conflict between private desire and public good.
