Infos

Surviving for over five hundred years, the Hutterites have created the world's most successful communal society. In the past, the colony was an "e;ark,"e; isolated from the secular world and from the society which surrounded it. Today, Hutterite colonies face challenges from globalization and the advent of new technologies. A recent reality TV show and an inflammatory book by former members have brought an unwelcome spotlight to the community. Inside the Ark presents quite a different picture from these sensational offerings. As the authors note in this new edition, "e;it is easy to find fault with any social organization, less easy to analyze it from a dispassionate standpoint."e; In this award-winning book, they offer a thoughtful and thorough analysis of Hutterite society and seek to understand a complex and often misunderstood community.
