Voices of an American Utopia : The Oneida Community in Their Own Words

Voices of an American Utopia is Tony Wonderley's latest contribution to works on the Oneida Community. In many ways, this is a companion or supplement to the very first compilation of Community writings that were published in 1970--Constance Noyes Robertson's Oneida Community: An Autobiography, 1851-1876--which drew on articles from Community periodicals to shed light on the Community's practices, architecture, businesses, child rearing, and the important role of women in the Community. What sets this volume apart is that it also lets their photographic record speak as this book is lavishly documented with not only the words of the Community but also their faces--allowing the reader to put words to the likenesses of the Community members who wrote them. With this new volume, never-before-reproduced writings reveal important new details about the Community. The voices of the people who lived, worked, and played in the Oneida Community ring loud and clear and give insight to the past for a new generation of people who look to the Oneida Community for inspiration to imagine a different way of living.
