Camphill at Seventy-Five: Developmental Communalism in Process

Oddly, Pitzer connects this argument primarily to "two waves" of twentieth century communalism: the hippie counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s and the co-housing and ecovillage movements of the 1980s and 1990s.Yet Pitzer's own examples-such as the widespread acceptance of organic foods, alternative health practices, progressive education, and homeschooling-suggest that Camphill and the other enduring movements founded in the 1930s and 1940s are at least as significant for broader spread of community-based idealism. 3
