Summary: "La Réunion, a French Settlement in Texas" by William J. Hammond, Ph.D. and Margaret F. Hammond, is a historical account written in the late 20th century. The work recounts the establishment of La Réunion, a Utopian socialist colony founded in Texas by French socialists influenced by Charles Fourier's teachings. The book explores the philosophical, social, and economic ideologies driving the founders, emphasizing the collective aspirations of the settlers as they attempted to create a new model of society based on social cooperation and equality. The opening of the book introduces Charles Fourier, the inspirational figure behind the movement, and outlines the socio-political climate of 19th-century Europe that prompted many thinkers to seek alternatives to capitalism. It details Victor Prosper Considerant's leadership role and the motivations behind the colonists’ journey to Texas, highlighting their idealism and plans to implement Fourier’s theories. Considerant's beliefs in creating a harmonious and self-sustained community are discussed, alongside the challenges they faced from preconceived notions and resistance from local Texans, revealing the complexities and tensions of their ambitious undertaking.
