Publisher's Synopsis
""Icaria: A Chapter In The History Of Communism"" is a book written by Albert Shaw in 1884. The book is a detailed account of the Icarian movement, a utopian socialist movement that was established in the mid-19th century. The movement was founded by a group of French immigrants who settled in Iowa and established a community based on the principles of equality, communal ownership, and cooperation. The book provides a comprehensive history of the Icarian movement, tracing its origins in France, its migration to the United States, and its eventual decline. It explores the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the rise and fall of the movement, as well as the ideological debates that took place within the community. Shaw's book is notable for its detailed analysis of the Icarian movement, as well as its insights into the broader history of socialism and communism in the United States. It is an important work for anyone interested in the history of utopian socialism and the development of socialist thought in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
