ABSTRACT
When most people are unhappy with something in their society, they either simply accept it, through apathy or because they believe, rightly or wrongly, that they have no ability or power to effect change, or they try, individually or collectively, to bring about change in the direction they desire. Others physically withdraw. Some do so because they want to lead their chosen life immediately rather than wait for change to take place; others do so because they believe that their way is the right way for a chosen few. They may withdraw by changing societies; if the country is large enough, they migrate internally to a part where they believe life will be better; or they may attempt to create that better life within the confines of the larger society but in various ways separate from it. This book is about this last form of withdrawal.
