Growing Up Amish The Rumspringa Years

Richard Stevick draws on decades of experience working with and studying Amish adolescents across the United States to produce this well-rounded and realistic view of contemporary Amish youth. Besides discussing the impact of smartphones and social media usage, he carefully examines work and leisure, rites of passage, the rise of supervised youth groups, courtship rituals, weddings, and the remarkable Amish retention rate. Stevick also contemplates the potential of electronic media to significantly alter traditional Amish practices, culture, and staying power.--From publisher description.
