Getting back together / Robert Houriet.

"A great migration is under way across the United States. Young people in their thousands have founded over 2,000 communes and communities across the country in search of a new America. When Robert Houriet set out in 1968 to explore the texture and direction of communal life, the movement was regarded by the media and the public alike as a ‘freak scene’ – dropouts who hadn’t decided what to drop into, open-ended communes of drifting hippies with no purpose, no traditions, no tomorrow. But, instead, Houriet discovered a new seriousness and commitment on the part of these pioneers to forming alternative lifestyles and to making them work. A seriousness that presages profound, enduring and important changes to come." -- Provided by publisher.
