"New York Amish is a useful book for information about Amish communities in the Empire State. It advances understanding of Amish migration and the opportunities and challenges of new settlements. As the pace of settlement formation continues to increase, these are significant contributions to Amish studies."-Agricultural History, "After reading Johnson-Weiner's book I felt I'd been given an enthusiastic guided tour of the New York State Amish community."-North Country Public Radio, This is a fascinating and much-needed book on the New York Amish. New York is the 'go-to' state for the Amish today, and Johnson-Weiner's book could not have been better timed for publication., After reading Johnson-Weiner's book I felt I'd been given an enthusiastic guided tour of the New York State Amish community., "This is a fascinating and much-needed book on the New York Amish. New York is the 'go-to' state for the Amish today, and Johnson-Weiner's book could not have been better timed for publication."-Pennsylvania History, This groundbreaking work provides an excellent overview of the Amish communities in the Empire State. It is a must-read for anyone interested in this distinctive religious group., New York Amish traverses between the history of the Anabaptists in the sixteenth century and anthropological work among contemporary Amish communities. Karen M. Johnson-Weiner makes a notable contribution by bringing Amish history into the larger religious narrative of New York. Throughout, she allows the reader to appreciate the variation and complexity of these communities in a respectful way., For those who know much about the Amish, and for those who know little, this book is a treasure. By introducing readers to the Amish communities of New York state, Karen Johnson-Weiner opens new vistas of Amish scholarship and underscores the diversity of Amish life in fresh and compelling ways. Her esteem for her Amish subjects is apparent, though it never detracts from her clear-sighted analysis., Karen M. Johnson-Weiner writes fluidly, with a great eye for detail. This book gives ample evidence of the time she spent in intimate relationship with the New York Amish, her love for them, and her desire to present these people to others., "New York Amish is impressive both in terms of thematic and geographical scope. The keynote is the diversity within the Amish experience, and Karen Johnson-Weiner explores the many points of difference and debate (dress, marriage, education, excommunication, etc.). We hear about both those who might be termed 'progressive' and those (such as the Swartzentruber Amish) who are resolutely conservative. The book's greatest strength is that it derives from a wealth of fieldwork. Johnson-Weiner has spent a good deal of time living with the Amish and the result is a nuanced study of the effects of place on religious practice."-Religious Studies Review
