All Possible Worlds: Utopian Experiments in British Columbia

by Justine Brown

British Columbia — the last temperate part of the New World to be mapped — has long conjured up images of Utopia, a word that comes from the Greek "no place". Indeed, utopian experiments started springing up soon after the first European explorers passed through. In All Possible Worlds , Justine Brown explores the attraction BC holds for utopian thinkers. She tells the stories of some of their idealistic Metlakatla; Sointula; the Doukhobor towns in the Kootenays; the strange empires of Brother Twelve and other Gulf Island messiahs; the artist and hippie communes of the Sixties and Seventies; and much more.
