Eden Within Eden: Oregon's Utopian Heritage
This is an overview of what is known about Oregon's Utopian intentional communities. The subjects that are chosen for emphasis are eclectic. The writing is academic with a lot about what we don't know, trying to establish definitions, characterizing various movements and themes and quoting and paraphrasing sources. So it comes out a little dry. It is basically a stepping-off point for further study. And it includes an appendix full of information and is well-annotated for those looking to do so.
I don't think that the last chapter on Portland as Utopia based on its city and regional planning really adds to the book and has been covered more thoroughly in other sources.
I am ready for some of the fiction based on these communes that Kopp cites.
