Throughout their history, the Amish communities of North America
have tried to remain separate from the currents of progress that
swirl in the larger society. The authors and others argue that
although the nation's nearly 140,000 Amish continue to resist the
influence of worldly institutions, the communities have nonetheless
acquiesced to modernity in significant ways. Such change has not
been easy and The Amish Struggle with Modernity examines on a
national scale dilemmas that arise when a people devoted to plain
living face the complexities of modern life.
