In this comprehensive study of the Modern School movement, Paul Avrich
narrates its history, analyzes its successes and failures, and assesses
its place in American life. In doing so, he shows how the radical
experimentation in art and communal living as well as in education
during this period set the precedent for much of the artistic, social,
and educational ferment of the 1960's and I970's.
