Description

"Taken together, these writings, supplemented by a comprehensive bibliography of Hostetler's publications, provide ready access to the Hostetler corpus and the tools by which to evaluate his work, his intellectual evolution, and his legacy as a scholar of Amish and American life. Moreover, by providing a window into the varied worlds of John A. Hostetler - his Amish boyhood, his Mennonite Church milieu, his educational pursuits, his scholarly career, and his vocation as a mediator of and advocate for Amish life - this volume enhances our understanding of ethnographic representation, particularly as it pertains to America's most renowned folk culture, the Old Order Amish."--Jacket.
