Michel Lallement is Professor of Sociology at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Mtiers (CNAM) and a member of the Laboratory for Economic Sociology at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (LISE-CNRS). He has written extensively on work transformations and new work communities.
“In his latest book, Michel Lallement explores two utopian communities – Twin Oaks and Acorn – formed in the 1960s, examining the concrete challenges they faced and managed. A beautiful historical ethnography and innovative sociology, essential reading for anyone interested in ‘forward dreams’ of equality.” Michael Burawoy, University of California, Berkeley
