The tumult of the 1960s witnessed assaults on once-cherished social institu-
tions, the onrush of urban decay and the generation gap. For many Ameri-
cans escape lay in the past. They staunchly reaffirmed the values of the
family, they sought refuge in communes and a return to the land where a
simpler life offered utopia.
In these essays, first collected in a special issue of SOUNDINGS: An Inter-
disciplinary Journal, such feelings are placed in proper context. As one
writer puts it: "we are under obligation to develop an enriched under-
standing of the relationship between urban structure and urban person...
the city is now our home; in the most traditional and profound sense of the
word, it is our land." Other writers describe the family as niheteenth-
century ideal, and there are incisive analyses of establishing viable day
care programs, the real problems of modern agriculture and both the
myths and realities of Israel s Kibbutzim movement.
Through the volume runs a common theme: where does man go now that
he has breached all earthly frontiers; how does he shape his life and pre-
serve his individuality in the face of rampant technology. For many readers
the answers may be found in this tensely provocative anthology.
