From the early 1960s to the late 1980s John A Hostetler was the world's premier scholar of Amish life. Hailed by his peers for his illuminating and sensitive portrayals of this oft-misunderstood religious sect, Hostetler successfully spanned the divide between popular and academic culture, thereby shaping perceptions of the Amish throughout American society. He was also outspoken in his views of the modern world and of the Amish world—views that continue to stir debate today. Writing the Amishboth recounts and assesses Hostetler's Amish related work. The first half of the book consists of four reflective essays—By Donald Kraybill, Simon Bronner, David Weaver- Zercher, and Hostetler himself—in which Hostetler is the primary subject. The second half reprints in Chronological order fourteen key writings by Hostetler with commentaries and annotations by Weaver- Zercher. Copyright 2005 Pennsylvania German Society | |
