From gated communities to Heaven's Gate, the idea and practice of community in America has not only declined but mutated. This text examines the counterfeit community in America from a number of perspectives revealing that building a genuine community means no quick fixes.
From gated communities to Heaven''s Gate, the idea and practice of community in America have not only declined but mutated. In the process, Americans'' longing to be connected to something greater than themselves has intensified. This longing, coupled with an absence of genuine community alternatives, opens the way to counterfeit claims by those promoting economic rather than social agendas. This book examines ''counterfeit community'' as it has become manifest throughout contemporary American society-in housing, as it shapes our public spaces; in the workplace; in politics; in religion; and most recently, in cyberspace.
