We will review concepts and definitions of utopia and dystopia through the history of the Western world and their application in the United States. There have been two types of utopias: intentional communities formed to put utopian ideals into practice; and literary utopias that have served as inspirations and sometimes as blueprints of sorts. We will investigate at length an example of each time in the larger context of utopian thought and practice. We shall also consider, in addition to utopia in America, the idea of America as utopia.
