In 1958 a considerable group of Mennonites travelled down from Canada to Central America. They considered Canada to be too modern and sought after the simplicity of a more traditional society. Their search led them to Mexico and Paraguay. And to Belize, the setting of this newly published volume.

The book offers a portrait of these Mennonites in seven main chapters, with a preface by Piet Visser, professor of history of the Anabaptists and Mennonites at the VU University Amsterdam. The volume is edited by Carel Roessingh, anthropologist, working at the department of Culture, Organization and Management at the VU Faculty of Social Sciences, and Tanja Plasil, anthropologist.
