Summary:
"An exploration of American ideas of utopia through the lens of one millennial's quest to live a more communal life under late-stage capitalism. Told in a series of essays that balance memoir with fieldwork, 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth' is an idiosyncratic study of American utopian experiments --from the Shakers to the radical faerie communes of Short Mountain to the Bronx rebuilding movement --through the lens of one millennial’s quest to create a more communal life in a time of unending economic and
social
precarity."--From publisher.
