    • Abstract:
      Ghodsee's book builds up to her ultimate and most radical anti-institutionalist proposal: that the modern monogamous nuclear family should be redesigned. BOOKS & the ARTS IN THE DESERT OF SAUDI ARABIA, BETWEEN JORDAN and the Red Sea, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is building a utopian eco-city called the Line, a cornerstone of the kingdom's Vision 2030 plan to reduce its economic dependence on oil. That vision has contemporary counterparts: The Danish feminist Bodil Graae founded a cohous-ing initiative, now called Sættedammen, in the 1970s, which Ghodsee reports is thought to be the "world's first modern cohousing community.".
