Editor's Note

Editor's Note Editor’s Note Dear Friends and Colleagues, Last year, we lost two dear utopian friends who have been particularly active and constructive in the eld fi of utopian studies and communitarian studies. They will be greatly missed. We have to announce the sad passing of Saskia Poldervaart after a long illness bravely borne with great spirit. Saskia passed away in Amsterdam on November 17, 2011, and some of us remember her fondly from the Utopian Studies Society meeting in Cyprus in summer 2011. Saskia was the director of the Women’s Programme at the University of Amsterdam for many years, was very involved in the Society for Utopian Studies, and was the president of the International Communal Studies Association (ICSA) between 1995 and 1998. She published on utopia and social movements, feminism and communitarianism, and the alterglobalization movement. We equally regret the passing of Professor Henry Near, a founding member of the ICSA and an active participant in many of the international conferences. Henry Near was born in the United Kingdom in 1929 and became a mem- ber of Kibbutz Beit Ha’emek, Israel, in 1955. He was Professor Emeritus of Jewish History and Education, Oranim College, University of Haifa, and a very respected scholar in the eld fi of kibbutz history. Henry wrote several important books on kibbutz history and utopian studies. In particular he will be remembered as the author of the prizewinning publication The Kibbutz Movement: A History, volumes 1 and 2, which has been recognized as the most comprehensive history of the kibbutz movement to date. A Hebrew version appeared in 2008. We send our sincere condolences to Saskia’s and Henry’s families on behalf of the Utopian Studies Board, members, and friends throughout the world. —nicole pohl Editor UTS 23.1_FM.indd 6 09/03/12 1:30 AM http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Utopian Studies Penn State University Press

Abstract

Editor’s Note Dear Friends and Colleagues, Last year, we lost two dear utopian friends who have been particularly active and constructive in the eld fi of utopian studies and communitarian studies. They will be greatly missed. We have to announce the sad passing of Saskia Poldervaart after a long illness bravely borne with great spirit. Saskia passed away in Amsterdam on November 17, 2011, and some of us remember her fondly from the Utopian Studies Society meeting in Cyprus in summer 2011. Saskia was the director of the Women’s Programme at the University of Amsterdam for many years, was very involved in the Society for Utopian Studies, and was the president of the International Communal Studies Association (ICSA) between 1995 and 1998. She published on utopia and social movements, feminism and communitarianism, and the alterglobalization movement. We equally regret the passing of Professor Henry Near, a founding member of the ICSA and an active participant in many of the international conferences. Henry Near was born in the United Kingdom in 1929 and became a mem- ber of Kibbutz Beit Ha’emek, Israel, in 1955. He was Professor Emeritus of Jewish History and Education, Oranim College, University of Haifa, and a very respected scholar in the eld fi of kibbutz history. Henry wrote several important books on kibbutz history and utopian studies. In particular he will be remembered as the author of the prizewinning publication The Kibbutz Movement: A History, volumes 1 and 2, which has been recognized as the most comprehensive history of the kibbutz movement to date. A Hebrew version appeared in 2008. We send our sincere condolences to Saskia’s and Henry’s families on behalf of the Utopian Studies Board, members, and friends throughout the world. —nicole pohl Editor UTS 23.1_FM.indd 6 09/03/12 1:30 AM
