"A lively and often entertaining account.... In Wayland-Smith's extended chronicle, we see utopia as it sails through the world, assaulted on all sides by the forces of assimilation and greed."--The New Yorker "Wayland-Smith is a gifted writer. Her lively account of how Oneida eventually succumbed to 'the gods of Science and Doubt' is a welcome change from most 'as told by' family histories."--The New York Times Book Review "Remarkable... a detailed, riveting account."--The Guardian "Lively...[Wayland-Smith's] nuanced and empathetic book vividly captures the spirit of a brief historical moment."--The Boston Globe "[A] fascinating, beautifully-told history."--The New Republic "An incredible story."--WBUR's Here and Now "An intimate, quirky family portrait."--The Nation "A gimlet-eyed book about Wayland-Smith's family history."--Gawker "Drawing from letters, diaries, newsletters, and family stories, the author, an original-family descendant, adds inside information to this retelling of a radical movement's transformation in the shifting current of American ideals. The narrative is engaging and detailed. This is a must-read for those interested in American social history, and should have broad appeal."--Booklist (starred review) "[An] impressively thorough and engaging work.... This book is a fascinating look into the strange history of Oneida silverware and how its origins reflect an exhilarating period of American history."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This compelling narrative seamlessly threads the unlikely alliance between a 'free love utopia' and a household brand name. Fans of Joseph Ellis and David McCullough will appreciate this engrossing entry."--Library Journal (starred review) "The spotlight Wayland-Smith shines on this remarkable community's beginnings and ending offers a riveting glimpse into the quintessentially American early-19th-century struggle with the rights of the individual and separation of church and state. A smartly contextualized tale of 'the tension between radical social critique and unapologetic accommodation....between communal harmony and individual striving.'"--Kirkus Reviews "A lively and often entertaining account....

Reseña del editor:
Amidst the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, John Humphrey Noyes, a spirited but socially awkward young man, attracted a group of devoted followers with his fiery sermons about creating Jesus' millennial kingdom here on earth. Noyes and his followers built a large communal house in rural New York where they engaged in what Noyes called "complex marriage," an elaborate system of free love where sexual relations with multiple partners was encouraged. Noyes was eventually inspired to institute a program of eugenics, known as "stirpiculture," to breed a new generation of Oneidans from the best members of the Community - many fathered by him. When Noyes died in 1886, the Community disavowed Noyes' disreputable sexual theories and embraced their thriving business of flatware. Oneida Community Limited would go on to become one of the nation's leading manufacturers of silverware, and their brand a coveted mark of middle-class respectability in pre- and post-WWII America. Told by a descendant of one of the Community's original families, Oneida is a captivating story that straddles two centuries to reveal how a radical, free-love sect, turning its back on its own ideals, transformed into a purveyor of the white picket fence American dream.
