Summary
"The Palgrave Companion to North American Utopias is an examination of utopian societies, past and present, ranging from New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania to the Oregon coast and Western Canada. In this comprehensive history, we are introduced to visionary leaders and communities from the eighteenth century to today, ranging from the well-known Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith, to the Ananda Cooperative Village of the Sierra Nevada."--Jacket
