| Abstract | The Amish are one of America's most intriguing and puzzling communities. To the outsider, their habits and customs abound with contradictions. But the most intriguing puzzle of all is the secret of their survival in the twentieth century. How have these "plain folk" kept the modern world at bay? Donald Kraybill has lived and worked among the Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home of America's oldest Amish community. The Amish were eager to answer his questions. His book draws us into conversation across a cultural fence with a people as remote as the seventeenth century and as close to home as that blacktop road off the next Interstate exit. |
