Utopia is, literally, the good place that is no place. Utopias
reveal people's dreams and desires and they may gesture towards
different and better ways of being. But they are rarely considered
as physical, observable phenomena. In this book Sargisson and
Sargent, both established writers on utopian theory, turn their
attention to real-life utopian communities. The book is based on
their fieldwork and extensive archival research in New Zealand, a
country with a special place in the history of utopianism. A land
of opportunity for settlers with dreams of a better life, New
Zealand has, per capita, more intentional communities - groups of
people who have chosen to live and sometimes work together for a
common purpose - than any country in the world. Sargisson and
Sargent draw on the experiences of more than fifty such
communities, to offer the first academic survey of this form of
living utopian experiment. In telling the story of the New Zealand
experience, Living in Utopia provides both transferable lessons in
community, cooperation and social change and a unique insight into
the utopianism at the heart of politics, society, and everyday
life.
