«As a distinguished scholar and long-time kibbutznik, communal historian and philosopher Henry Near offers that all too rare combination of passion and balance, vision and realism. This timely book is an invaluable case study of the kibbutz in a broader, comparative perspective including Christian monasteries, Hutterite colonies, and New Age communes. It offers a goldmine of new evidence and mature wisdom, of value to historians, social scientists, humanists, and partisans of gender equality, youth empowerment, and cooperative alternatives for the twenty-first century. No student of intentional communities can afford to ignore Near's penetrating analysis of the kibbutz as a 'post-utopian' society. 'Where Community Happens' is a must-read for students and scholars of communal utopianism.» (Michael S. Cummings, Professor of Political Science, University of Colorado, Denver)
