Publisher Description:
In "The Riddle of Amish Culture" Kraybill finds the Amish eager to answer our questions. (Some even tell what they thought of the film "Witness." ) But they also have questions for us. Why, they ask, do we shut our aging parents out of our houses - and put them in institutions we call "home?" Why do we move away from the towns and families we love in pursuit of jobs we hate. And why do we need weapons so powerful they could one day destroy us all - Amish and "English" alike?" "The Riddle of Amish Culture" draws us into conversations 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.
