"In this outstanding book, the American photographer Kristin Capp offers a penetrating yet sensitive portrait of the Hutterite religious community. Like the Mennonites and the Amish, the Hutterites are Anabaptists who trace their origins back to the radical wing of the Zurich Reformation. Having rejected the practice of infant baptism, they were ostracized as heretics early in their long history of persecution.Today, more than 40,000 Hutterites live in closed communities in the U.S., in a state of geographical seclusion that has enabled them to preserve their traditional mode of dress and their language, both of which date back to the 16th century/. The Hutterites practice the principle of communal property and live in strict accordance with the Holy Scripture. They have little use for modern society." -- dust jacket. "Kristin Capp's photographs of the Hutterites elegantly bring us to a forgotten world of calmness, grace and beauty." -- Mary Ellen Mark. This book was still shrink-wrapped when we received it and was (and is) in perfect condition. We opened the shrink-wrap just to check the edition (it's a 1st printing). It's very large and heavy, so expedited shipping or shipping outside the U.S. we'll cost extra. Be assured that it will be wrapped in bubble-wrap and will be shipped in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery.

Prima edizione
First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new and still in the publisher's shrink-wrap.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Description: 143 p. : ill. Subjects: Bruderhof Communities --Documentary photography --Hutterian Brethren, North America --Pictorial works --Individual photographers --Photoessays and documentaries --Photojournalism --Portraits. Summary: Like the Mennonites and the Amish, the Hutterites are farmers -- and very successful ones. All three religious communities have resisted modernity in religion, social affairs, and family life, but the Hutterites use state-of-the-art equipment and progressive methods of agriculture. Their self-imposed isolation and predominantly self-sufficient lifestyle have enabled them to preserve their traditional customs. Photographs of them are rare, and non-Hutterites are considered "outsiders". Kristin Capp's photos deal primarily with themes of memory, history, gender, and role. She has focused upon objects and motifs in states of transition, on the themes of new and old. Unconcerned with "cataloging", she has devoted herself rather to refining and intensifying her approach to these subjects. 2 Kg.
