Driedger contends that Mennonites are in a unique position in meeting the electronic challenge, having entered modern society relatively recently. He traces trends in Mennonite life by reviewing such issues as the shift from farming to professionalism, the role of mass media, and increased social interaction. Mennonites face many of the challenges that other religious minorities in North America encounter in the move to modernity, and this study provides in-depth insights into this transition."--Jacket. 606 $aMennonites$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aMennonites$zCanada$xSocial conditions 606 $aMennonites$xCultural assimilation 606 $aInformation society 607 $aNordamerika$2gnd 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aLivres numeriques. 608 $ae-books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMennonites$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMennonites$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMennonites$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aInformation society. 676 $a305.6/87073 700 $aDriedger$b Leo$f1928-$01579393 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780661103321 996 $aMennonites in the global village$93859470 997 $aUNINA
