Desire and Duty at Oneida: Tirzah Miller’s Intimate Memoir (Indiana University Press, 2000) was edited by Robert S. Fogarty, Professor of History at Antioch College and Editor of the Antioch Review. The book, according to Fogarty, offers a story “about sexual communism, about ‘consanguineous love,’ about music as it influences intimate relationships, about a community that struggled – in the most intimate ways – to define a social and sexual agenda that honored both community and commitment.” A unique record of nineteenth century life, Desire and Duty is a dramatic account of the Oneida Community’s history as gleaned from its recently opened archives.
