Description

A Geography of the Hutterites in North America explores the geographical diffusion of the Hutterite colonies from the “bridgehead” of Dakota Territory in 1874 to the present distribution across North America. Looking further than just maps of location, this book analyzes the relationship between parent and daughter colonies as the Hutterite population continues to grow and examines the role of cultural and demographic forces in determining the diffusion process. Throughout this geographical analysis, Simon M. Evans pays due attention to the Hutterites’ contribution to the cultural landscape of the Canadian Prairies and the American Great Plains, as well as the interactions that the Hutterites have with the land, including their agricultural success. With over forty years of research and personal interactions with more than a hundred Hutterite colonies, Evans offers a unique insight into the significant role that the Hutterites have in North America, both currently and historically. This study goes beyond the history, life, and culture of this communal brotherhood to present a new geographical analysis that reports on current and ongoing research within the field. The first narrative to be published regarding Hutterites in nearly a decade, A Geography of the Hutterites in North America is a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.

STUNNING. Outstanding 40-year research project for Dr. Evans, and so through, so complete that I’ve been recommending it to everyone. Names all of the Hutterite Colonies in Canada and the U.S., and places, each in their context. Evans’ analysis includes geography and the politics of settlements; he provides background on the “forced” moves from South Dakota to Canada. His analysis includes potential future contexts and changing work ideas within colonies today. The maps are pivotal in engaging the reader and are a huge aid to Evans’ analysis. Dr. Evans researched these colonies for 40+ years; the book was published after his death. Historians, those interested in religious sects, government agency employees, U.S. Senators and Representatives need to READ and keep this excellent reference in their libraries. Great population study for both Canadian and U.S. readers, and very useful for historians and genealogists!
