HUTTERITES OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
THE SCHMIEDELEUT
by Joanita Kant |
This is the best book I have read dealing with any ethnic
group—in this case the Hutterites of South Dakota. As a native-born
South Dakotan, deeply involved for many years in the educational,
cultural, and political life of the state, I supposed that I knew
well the Hutterite community. But Joanita Kant, by means of
brilliant photography, careful research, and excellent historical
writing, opens our eyes and warms our spirits with a fascinating
up-to-date tour of the religious, economic, cultural, and societal
treasure of the unique Hutterite way of life.... If a reader is
looking for a dramatic, carefully written, beautifully illustrated
story of one of the most fascinating ethnic groups in American
history, this is the book to read. We will not soon see its equal.
