paperback, 227 pages, $10.00 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Arts Poetry | Migrant Muses is a collection of critical essays and book reviews by writers and
scholars examining the present state of U.S. Mennonite literature. Many of the selections stem
from presentations given at the first-ever "Mennonite/s Writing in the U.S." conference at Goshen
College in 1997. Featuring an introductory essay by the distinguished late U.S. poet Denise Levertov, the volume presents discussions of the works of Mennonite poets and novelists, including Jeff Gundy, Jean Janzen, Julia Kasdorf, Janet Kauffman, Rudy Wiebe and Dallas Wiebe. It also includes reflections on such topics as the artist and the community, Mennonite literary "archetypes," faith and ethnicity, and women in Mennonite literature. Copyright 1998. | |

Cover... Related Items Arts Cultures | In this book, Ervin Beck brings to greater awareness some
traditional materials and behaviors among American Mennonites that (1)
have been learned by word of mouth or customary example, (2) have been
transmitted to succeeding generations of Mennonites, (3) illustrate
both long-established material and creative variants of them, and (4)
express important things about the individuals who pass them on in
informal places and about the community that unselfconsciously sponsors
them. Offered here are abundant examples of Mennonite jokes, origin stories, trickster tales, and the Reggie Jackson urban legend, along with analysis of them in the contest of Mennonite and Amish history, culture, and beliefs. Also studies Mennonite and Amish paintings on glass, family records, and the concept of Mennonite relief sales as folk festivals. This is the first book to analyze such a wide range of expressive forms in Mennonite and Amish folk culture. Copyright 2004. | |
