Oregon has long been a destination for those seeking new beginnings. The state has been home to nearly three hundred communal experiments, from the Aurora Colony to Rajneeshpuram. Eden Within Eden is the first book to survey Oregon’s utopian history, from religious and Socialist groups of the nineteenth century to ecologically conscious communities of the twenty-first century.
