Commitment and Community: Communes and Utopias in Sociological Perspective

What makes some communes work, while others fail? Why is it so difficult to put utopian ideals into practice? Rosabeth Kanter offers a unique analysis of the nature and process of enduring commitment, basing her theory of commitment mechanisms on exhaustive research of nineteenthâ€“century utopias, sharpened by firstâ€“hand knowledge of a variety of contemporary groups. The book moves in a lively fashion from Oneida, Brook Farm, and the Shakers to presentâ€“day phenomena such as rural communes and Synanon.
