{"product_id":"village-among-nations","title":"Village Among Nations","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween the 1920s and the 1940s, 10,000 traditionalist Mennonites emigrated from western Canada to isolated rural sections of Northern Mexico and the Paraguayan Chaco; over the course of the twentieth century, they became increasingly scattered through secondary migrations to East Paraguay, British Honduras, Bolivia, and elsewhere in Latin America. Despite this dispersion, these Canadian-descendant Mennonites, who now number around 250,000, developed a rich transnational culture over the years, resisting allegiance to any one nation and cultivating a strong sense of common peoplehood based on a history of migration, nonviolence, and distinct language and dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVillage among Nations\u003c\/em\u003e recuperates a missing chapter of Canadian history: the story of these Mennonites who emigrated from Canada for cultural reasons, but then in later generations \"returned\" in large numbers for economic and social security. Royden Loewen analyzes a wide variety of texts, by men and women - letters, memoirs, reflections on family debates on land settlement, exchanges with curious outsiders, and deliberations on issues of citizenship. They relate the untold experience of this uniquely transnational, ethno-religious community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46202437959890,"sku":"9781442646858","price":93.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46202437992658,"sku":"9781442614673","price":47.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46202438025426,"sku":"7764ddfc-c400-306c-9f64-f5315fdb0024","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_10442ae7-93e2-45ef-accd-3d9a467a4d53.jpg?v=1763166519","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/village-among-nations","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
