The Amish

Kraybill, Donald B. (Author). Johnson-Weiner, Karen. (Added Author). Nolt, Steven M., 1968- (Added Author).

Summary: The Amish have always struggled with the modern world. Known for their simple clothing, plain lifestyle, and horse-and-buggy mode of transportation, Amish communities continually face outside pressures to modify their cultural patterns, social organization, and religious world view. An intimate portrait of Amish life, The Amish explores not only the emerging diversity and evolving identities within this distinctive American ethnic community, but also its transformation and geographic expansion.
