Children in Amish Society: Socialization and Community Education

by John A. Hostetler, Gertrude Enders Huntington

This case study describes a way of life where families are still stable, people live with a high sense of communal obligation, men and women work with their hands, one hears the clop of horses' hoofs rather than the whine of tires, and the school and the community are joined. --From the Foreword
