In Experimental Americans, George L. Hicks takes us inside one of the longer-lived of such communities, Celo Community in western North Carolina, to explore the dynamics of intentional communities in America." 001380513 5208_ $$a"Founded in 1937 by Arthur Morgan, first chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, Celo (pronounced see-lo) established its own rules of land tenure and taxation, conducted its internal business by consensus and did not require its members to accept any particular ideology or religious creed. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Celo and among its local neighbors, consultation of Celo's documentary records, and interviews with ex-members, Hicks traces the Community's ups and downs. 001380513 5208_ $$aAttacked for its opposition to World War II, Celo was revived by pacifists released from prisons and Civilian Public Service camps after the war; debilitated in the 1950s by bitter feuds with ex-members, it was buoyed up in the 1960s by the radical enthusiasm of new currents in the nation."--Jacket. 001380513 61020 $$aCelo Community$$xHistory. 001380513 61027 $$aCelo Community.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00759677 001380513 61027 $$aCelo Community.$$2nli 001380513 648_7 $$a1900-1999$$2fast 001380513 650_0 $$aCollective settlements$$zNorth Carolina$$xHistory. 001380513 650_0 $$aUtopias$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001380513 650_7 $$aCollective settlements.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00867585 001380513 650_7 $$aUtopias.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01163359 001380513 650_7 $$aCollective settlements$$zNorth Carolina$$xHistory.$$2nli 001380513 650_7 $$aUtopias$$zUnited States.$$2nli 001380513 650_7 $$aUtopie$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4041251-9 001380513 650_7 $$aGlaubensgemeinschaft$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4157490-4 001380513 651_7 $$aNorth Carolina.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204304 001380513 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001380513 651_7 $$aNorth Carolina$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4042551-4 001380513 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001380513 852__ $$bgen$$hHX656.C45$$iH53 2001 001380513 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1380513$$pGLOBAL_SET 001380513 980__ $$aBOOK 001380513 980__ $$aBIB
