BoA:Audio goes off the beaten path as we explore the Amish culture with our guest Tom Shachtman, author of Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish. We'll be discussing Shachtman's in-depth research into the Amish and their rite of passage known as Rumspringa, how it serves to strengthen the Amish community, their unique educational system, their use of banning as a means of discipline, how farming by the Amish is diminishing, the feelings of the Amish about the tourism that surrounds their enclaves, Rumspringa's evolution over the years and how Shachtman sees it changing going into the future. And, of course, tons more.
It's a rare glimpse into the mysterious Amish world that exists within America's borders.
