In this comparative world-scale environmental history, Royden Loewen draws on a multi-year study of seven geographically distinctive Anabaptist communities around the world, focusing on Mennonite farmers in Bolivia, Canada, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, and Zimbabwe. These farmers, who include Amish, Brethren in Christ, and Siberian Baptists, till the land in starkly distinctive climates. They absorb very disparate societal lessons while being shaped by particular faith outlooks, historical memory, and the natural environment. The book reveals the ways in which modern-day Mennonite farmers have adjusted to diverse temperatures, precipitation, soil types, and relative degrees of climate change. These farmers have faced broad global forces of modernization during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, from commodity markets and intrusive governments to technologies marked increasingly by the mechanical, chemical, and genetic. As Mennonites, Loewen writes, these farmers were raised with knowledge of the historic Anabaptist teachings on community, simplicity, and peace that stood alongside ideas on place and sustainability. Nonetheless, conditioned by gender, class, ethnicity, race, and local values, they put their agricultural ideas into practice in remarkably diverse ways. Mennonite Farmers is a pioneering work that brings faith into conversation with the land in distinctive ways."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 550 $a Co-published by Johns Hopkins University Press. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-324) and index (pages 325-336). 505 00 $g Index. $g Introduction -- $t Mennonite farmers in "world scale" history : encountering the wider earth -- $t Peasant and piety in the South : planting Java, Matabeleland, and Bolivia's Oriente -- $t Something new under the Mennonite sun : a century of agricultural change -- $t Making peace on earth : an agricultural faith of the everyday -- $t Women on the land : gender and growing food in patriarchal lands -- $t Farm subjects and state biopower : seven degrees of separation -- $t Vernaculars of climate change : southern concern, northern complacency -- $t Mennonite farmers in "world scale" history : encountering the wider earth -- $g Conclusion -- $g Appendixes: A.
