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.
