EVERYDAY UTOPIA - KRISTEN GHODSEE KARTONIERT (TB)

Anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee looks at pioneering experiments in communal living to present a
rousing argument for rethinking what we mean by home. 'A must-read' THOMAS PIKETTY 'Just
wonderful' ANGELA SAINI Throughout history and around the world today  forward-thinking
communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together  sharing property and raising
children. In Everyday Utopia  anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from
these experiments - from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing
feminists of the French Revolution  from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the
flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal. She shows why utopian thinking is essential
to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home. 'This
warm  intelligent and lucid book takes us on a deep dive into how people have created better
systems for living - systems that actually work' ROBERT WALDINGER  author of The Good Life and
director of the Harvard Study of Adult Developmet 'Exhilarating. A powerful reminder that
dreaming of better worlds is not just some fantastical project but also a very serious
political one' REBECCA TRAISTER  author of Good and Mad 'Splendid. Invigorating writing for a
cheerless era' YANIS VAROUFAKIS  author of Technofeudalism 'A vision of what our future could
be if we dare to dream' SUSAN NEIMAN  Left Is Not Woke
