The Amish of Canada

Gingerich, Orland

Conrad Press

<p>This book encompasses not only the Old Order Amish, that wing of the movement typified by austere living, horse-and-buggy culture, but the whole of the Amish Mennonite settlements in Canada, including its more progressive counterparts....Canada opened its doors of hospitality to a quiet, peaceful people, deeply committed to the principles of mutual aid, community self-realization, moderation, and stewardship of the soil.... The author has a broad grasp of the historical movement and an intimate knowledge of the localized settlements of the Amish people in Ontario. The Amish in Canada is the first major literary contribution on the Canadian Amish Mennonites. It will be a source of self-knowledge for the Amish and Mennonite groups and for Canadians [and others] it will make possible a better understanding of the roots of cultural pluralism. --From the Foreword by John A. Hostetler, Professor Emritus of Anthropology and Sociology, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</p>
