The flow of migrants from south to north and east to west carries
with it growing concerns about the economic integration, political
incorporation, and social inclusion of newcomers and their
children. But what happens when a group of people deliberately
excludes themselves from mainstream society? How can social
policies, human services, and communities best understand and
respond to them? In Out of Place, Luann Good Gingrich explores
social inclusion and exclusion in relation to the approximately
60,000 Low German-speaking Mennonites who have migrated from
traditionally self-sufficient and agrarian colonies in Latin
America to rural areas of Canada. By examining the free-market
principles that organize the human services industry the author
exposes the inherent conflict that arises when this "market logic"
is imposed on a group that does not embrace these ideals. The
author's innovative approach to social policy and human services
which emphasizes the relationship between dominant and subordinate
cultures, encourages us to find new ways to authentically engage
with difference and bridge the gaps that divide us.
