The authors describe the Hutterite belief system and how it minimizes aggression and dissension  and protects the members against the outside world. Features:  Hutterites core social and personal values - nonaggression  selflessness and humility - are a challenge to the central North American mainstream values of achivevement  exploitation and aggression.  Hutterite education of their young  a primary concern of all Hutterite colonies  is an example of how successful education maintains community.  The Hutterites have lived with prejudice since their beginnings four and one half centuries ago  and young Hutterite men who refused military service in North America were persecuted inhumanely as recently as World War I.  John Hostetler  of Old Order Amish parents and an internationally known expert on communal societies in the United States and Canada  was readily accepted by the closeknit Hutterite community  and Gertrude Huntington was accepted by the colony with which she and her family lived as they conformed to Hutterite norms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648229072949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0534440339","price":59.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780534440336.jpg?v=1781713373","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/hutterites-in-north-america-case-studies-in-cultural-anthropology-9780534440336","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
