具体描述
""I had just witnessed women who shingled their own roofs, drove eighteen-wheeler trucks, and built their own houses--as well as kept them clean and cooked a damn good meal. On women's land I am a first-class citizen, I'm treated as an equal. I now see the world with righteous anger and hope. Living in womyn's community has provided that lens for me."--Elizabeth Sturrus, third wave feminist"One of the driving forces in the lives of many lesbians is the search for community in a society that favors heterosexuality and often turns a cold shoulder toward women who love women. Lesbian Communities: Festivals, RVs, and the Internet takes you inside flourishing lesbian communities--physical, spiritual, and virtual (online)--that provide practical help, emotional support, and much-needed outlets for creative expression. Exploring communities functioning in harmony with general American society as well as separatist groups, "festival communities" which form for short times annually, and informal online groups offering meaningful communication to physically isolated lesbians, this book offers a ray of light to those whose search is still ongoing. It also provides much-needed analysis of the current state of lesbian communities--some decades old now--for educators, researchers, and social scientists. In Lesbian Communities: Festivals, RVs, and the Internet, Susan Krieger revisits the vibrant community she first explored in The Mirror Dance. An African American member of Old Lesbians Organizing for Change shares the details of her search for a cooperative, caring space for aging lesbians--and what led to her eventual decision to create this space herself. And one of the founders of Hallomas, a back-to-the-land community that has survived in northern California since the late 1970s, reflects on that unique community's birth and life--with 13 photographs and illustrations. The book also bears witness to a life-changing encounter and dialogue between second-wave feminists from the woman's land collective of Arcadia and third wave feminists. You'll also learn about: the birth, joys, and tribulations of an online community that becomes physical each year at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival the accidental birth of a lesbian community in isolated and fundamentalist-dominated West Texas the international online lesbian parenting community called MOMS (affectionately known as Dykes and Tykes)--how it began, what belonging to this community provides for its members, and a look toward the future the debate on inclusiveness versus exclusiveness (of bisexual women, transgender people, and the male children of lesbians) in lesbian communities the current decline of availability and dilution of the purity of lesbian-only space--and the rise of segregation (by social class and financial status) and oppression within the lesbian community the current plight of lesbian bookstores, which since the 1970s have served not only as gateways to a multitude of lesbian communities, but as the centers of lesbian communities themselves the online experience of lesbians searching for community in Japan the issues facing Jewish lesbians and the formation of Nice Jewish Girls, a Montreal group for anyone who identifies as a lesbian, bisexual, or queer woman and their non-Jewish partners and friends the power of myth and mythmaking to help women regain lost strength and reclaim lost history From the efforts of back-to-the-land groups creating "wimmin's space" to life in modern residential/retirement settings, this book explores the places created by and for lesbians. Photos and illustrations bring these women and their communities to life. Lesbian Communities: Festivals, RVs, and the Internet w

当我看到这本书的出版信息时，我 immediately felt a sense of intellectual anticipation. I was drawn to the idea of exploring the nuanced tapestry of human connection and belonging, particularly within groups that often navigate complex social landscapes. I envisioned the author delving into the intricate mechanisms that foster community, the shared experiences that forge bonds, and the evolving narratives that define collective identity. My hope is that the book will not shy away from the inherent complexities, perhaps touching upon the internal dynamics of power, the negotiation of individual desires within a collective framework, and the resilience required to sustain a sense of shared purpose. I'm eager to see how the author might illuminate the subtle, often unspoken, ways in which individuals find their voice and their place within a supportive yet potentially demanding social structure. This isn't just about cataloging differences; it's about understanding the profound human need for connection and the diverse ways in which that need is met, celebrated, and challenged in the contemporary world.
评分这本书的封面设计就深深吸引了我，那种柔和而充满力量的色调，以及画面中隐约透露出的女性群像，立刻勾起了我的好奇心。我一直对社群的形成和维系抱有浓厚的兴趣，尤其是那些在主流文化中可能被忽视或边缘化的社群。当我翻开这本书时，我预感这将是一次深入的探索，一场对归属感、身份认同以及社群内部复杂人际关系的细腻描绘。我期待作者能够以一种既有学术深度又不失人文关怀的方式，展现这些社群的独特魅力和她们所面临的挑战。我希望书中能有真实的人物故事，那些闪耀着人性光辉的瞬间，以及那些在逆境中展现出的坚韧与勇气。更重要的是，我期待这本书能为我提供一个更广阔的视角，让我理解社群的形成不仅仅是简单的聚集，而是一种复杂的社会建构过程，其中充满了对话、妥协、冲突和共识。我也希望作者能探讨社群内部的权力动态，以及个体在社群中的角色扮演和自我实现。这本书给我的第一印象是，它不仅仅是一本关于某个特定群体的书，更是一本关于人类连接、关于我们如何在一个充满变化的社会中找到属于自己位置的思考。
评分The very notion of exploring a specific type of community immediately sparks my curiosity about the author's methodology and approach. I anticipate a deep dive into the formation, evolution, and sustainability of this particular social group. My primary interest lies in understanding the underlying principles that govern their interactions, the shared values that bind them, and the unique cultural expressions that emerge from their collective experiences. I wonder if the book will offer insights into how this community navigates the challenges of maintaining its distinctiveness while also engaging with the broader societal context. Will it explore the ways in which members negotiate their individual identities in relation to the collective? I also hope for a rich exploration of the internal dynamics, the joys and struggles that are part and parcel of any group endeavor. It would be fascinating to learn about the specific rituals, traditions, and forms of solidarity that characterize this community, and how these elements contribute to their enduring presence and evolving narrative.
评分从这本书的体量和作者的背景来看，我猜测它会对一个非常核心的议题进行深入的挖掘。我特别关注的是，作者将如何处理社群的“内部”与“外部”的关系，以及社群在面对外部压力时的凝聚力和对外表达的策略。我希望书中不仅仅是列举事实，而是能够通过扎实的案例分析，揭示出社群运作的深层逻辑。比如，社群是如何建立起一套独特的文化规范和价值体系的？这些规范是如何被传承和演变的？当社群内部出现不同意见或分歧时，又是如何进行调解和整合的？我尤其好奇的是，作者是否会讨论社群成员在个人身份认同和社群身份认同之间是如何权衡和融合的？这种身份的交织，会带来怎样的机遇和挑战？我也期待书中能够探讨社群在社会变迁中所扮演的角色，她们是如何适应新的社会环境，又是如何主动或被动地推动社会进步的。这本书在我眼中，不应仅仅是记录，更应该是一种分析，一种对人类社会组织形式的深刻洞察，尤其是在那些可能不被主流话语充分理解的领域。
评分我被这本书的副标题所吸引，它暗示着这本书将不仅仅是静态的描述，而会包含动态的观察和发展。我非常期待书中能够展现社群在时间维度上的演变，从她们的起源、发展壮大，到可能面临的挑战和转型。作者是否会梳理出不同历史时期，这个社群所经历的重大事件和关键转折点？这些事件又如何塑造了她们的集体记忆和文化认同？我希望书中能有一些生动的案例，能够让我感受到社群成员在不同时代背景下的生活状态和情感体验。同时，我也想知道，作者将如何描绘社群与更广阔社会环境之间的互动关系？她们是如何在主流社会中争取空间和权利的？她们的经验和故事，又对整个社会产生了哪些启示？这本书在我心目中，应该是一部有温度、有深度、有历史感的作品，它能够让我透过一个特定的社群，看到更广阔的社会图景，理解人类历史的复杂性和多样性。
