In the four decades covered, American Mennonites nearly doubled in membership. Their encounters with Protestant revivalism, organizational techniques, modernism, and World War I affected each group differently. Volume 3.

Paul Toews examines ways progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies, building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism. Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation.

An in-depth look at how Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

This album represents a sampling of folk and hymn tunes Amish enjoy on the harmonica. They probably were first learned in school from non-Amish teachers before Amish established their own schools in the 1950's. Tunes on this recording have slight variations, a legacy from the persecution of the past centuries.

The harmonica is played by a young wife and mother. She played these songs as a teenager when she was "running around" with the young people at singings. The harmonica is the same one she used as a teenager, with no half steps. She now lives in a more liberal community where recording is permitted if done anonymously.
