Description
The Amish: A Study in Cultural Transformation This comprehensive study explores the complex relationship between the Amish and modern society. For over two decades, Donald B. Kraybill, Karen M. Johnson-Weiner, and Steven M. Nolt have researched the history, religion, and culture of this distinctive American ethnic community. Through a combination of archival material, direct observations, and oral history, the authors provide an authoritative understanding of Amish society. Despite their private nature, the Amish have found ways to adapt to modernity, enabling them to thrive in America. The book sheds light on the transformation of the Amish in popular culture and its implications for our understanding of American character and values. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, this study offers a nuanced portrayal of the Amish in America today.
