Num Pages: 340 pages, 20, 7 maps. BIC Classification: 1KBC; 3JJ; 3JMC; JFSR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 156 x 24. Weight in Grams: 640.

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.
