Download or read book Between Horse & Buggy and Four-wheel Drive written by Carel Roessingh and published by Vu University Press Amsterdam. This book was released on 2009 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1958 a considerable group of Mennonites travelled down from Canada to Central America. They considered Canada to be too modern and sought after the simplicity of a more traditional society. Their search led them to Mexico and Paraguay. And to Belize, the setting of this newly published volume. This book is the first important study about the Mennonite community in Belize, consisting of approximately 10.000 people. Much like the Amish in the US, these Mennonites transport themselves in characteristic horse drawn buggies, they live in large families and try to keep their houses and households as sober as possible. And they are religious, of course. Although modernity is slowly moving ahead, even for them.
