WEISBROD, CAROL The Boundaries of Utopia
Pantheon Books, NY, 1980, 1st Ed. Hardbound. A valuable study of the legal aspects of communitarian experiment in 19th century America. The early vision of America as ''the Promised Land'' produced many voluntary efforts to attain the good society after it became evident that legislation could not achieve the goal. America, with the shift from agricultural to industrial civilization, was moving in another direction. But the communitarians were in conflict with the spirit of the times. ''Boundary tending'' became more difficult. Secessions occurred. This work, opening in a fresh way and important field of study, shows what happened in the courts when conflicts could not be resolved internally. LCCN 79-1898. 298 Pgs.
