Cover of Barry Shenker: Intentional Communities (Routledge Revivals) (PDF)

Some communities exist for tens, even hundreds, of years. Others short-lived. What, then, makes for communal ”success”? Bary Shenker, who lived on a Kibbutz for a number of years, compares the Hutterites, the Kibbutzim and therapeutic communities – and argues that there is no simple formula. Through historical and sociological analysis, combined with personal experience and insight, the author provides fresh thoughts on a form of a social life which fascinates us all. First published in 1986.
