Summary: | The appraisal by Cory Anderson, Joseph Donnermeyer, Jeffrey Longhofer, and Steven Reschly (hereafter, appraisers) highlights a methodological divide that is important to the study of the Amish and other ethnic or religious minorities. In my reply, I discuss how my work is rooted in a cultural analytic paradigm that differs from the appraisers' methodological orientation. My reply includes a deconstruction of the appraisal and a discussion of its "shortcomings." I conclude by showing how the discourse surrounding this appraisal raises important epistemological questions of how we understand human societies. |
