Seller's Description:
Good in Very Good jacket. Ex-Library Usual library markings, including protective, laminated dust jacket. Nice, clean, tight, unmarked copy. From School Library Journal: "Gay discusses both religious groups and secular societies, including "intentional communities, " which see themselves as models for social change. Examples of the latter type are groups associated with Dorothy Day's Catholic Workers movement and counterculture communes such as Morning Star and Wheeler's Ranch in California. Gay makes clear that communal living can provide a supportive and positive environment for some people. She defines characteristics of cults that pose dangers to individual members, as well as to the public at large. She finds such characteristics in Jim Jones's People's Temple, the Unification church, the Church of Scientology, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the Branch Davidians, Move, and the Order of the Solar Temple. The author cautions that an increase in the number of "doomsday" cults may be expected, calling attention to the use of the Internet by recruiters and detractors. There is a brief discussion of deprogramming, but this title focuses on the social and historical aspects of such groups. At present, controversy rages as to whether Scientology is a dangerous cult, and some may object to its inclusion as one. The author does not mention communal experiments by Jewish groups, such as Mordecai Manuel Noah's Ararrat, near Buffalo, NY, and various colonies in New Jersey, in the Middle West, and West. All in all, this is a valuable title, clearly written, and informative. Completed before the Heaven's Gate events, it seems almost prophetic."
