hi Folks -- encouraged about this ... wish it hadn't been called a "handbook", since that's fairly presumptuous for what is after all a conference proceedings paper... our group in EU has been wrestling what what this means on the ground for some while (see Ref). On the rural-urban divide, remember that most communes are in rural areas, remote ones, where land is cheap. Find one and support it, support those in it who want to do social change (a lot don't). Lots of rurality is about networking now... See also Deep Routes:The Midwest in All Directions
http://www.midwestradicalculturecorridor.net/ as an inspiring model of a rural-based radical project.
all best,

    Thanks Sam, an inspiring new resource indeed. Pity I live in a rural
    place which hasn't yet been touched by this. Realise to participate I
    need to situate in a major urban centre, from which these movements are
    building.

    I couldn't follow the link : ( because of its 'redirect loop' apparently.
    would it be possible to attach it?
     
    ps without wanting to kick off a debate, I do think movements are (or need
    to be) built in rural areas as well, and the drain of people interested in
    seeking change from periphery to centre means that 'rural places being
    untouched by movements' becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Think I would
    also say (speculatively and loosely speaking) the majority of people in
    urban centres are similarly 'not yet touched'. But I am keen to read the
    handbook to see how it conceptualises 'movements'.

    Here is another link that may work better:

    If not I can send personally (not sure if can attach to the whole list)
     
    Interesting discussion on the rural-urban divide. I tend to agree that nowadays this difference is not as strong as it used to be, and that the divide is more on other factors such as Bessie implies….
