Clean bright dust jacket is unchipped, no tears; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. The story of the founding of a small progressive private school in New York City, Manhattan Country School, which opened its doors in September 1966. MCS was conceived as a community in which achievement, power, and influence would be self-earned rather than the legacy of privilege. And the school would have a working farm, located in the nearby Catskill Mountains. This natural setting would enable children of greatly divergent backgrounds to know and respect one another by living together and sharing the responsibilitie of a highly interdependent community. Augustus Trowb ridge, its cofounder and visionary, frankly explores the politics of race, class, and gender that, at certain periods, threatened to derail the school's mission. The result is a compelling portrait of a small would-b Utopia that holds lessons for us all..
