The goal of this research was to examine stereotypes circulated in the media about Amish and Mennonite people and their lifestyle. Through in-depth research and interviews with scholars as well as members of the Amish and Mennonite community, this project interrogates existing stereotypes and uncovers how they were created, as well as how or why they are maintained in modern American culture.
