An Amish Paradox

Diversity and Change in the World's Largest Amish Community

Beschreibung

An Amish Paradox captures the complexity and creativity of the Holmes County Amish, dispelling the image of the Amish as a vestige of a bygone era and showing how they reinterpret tradition as modernity encroaches on their distinct way of life.
