"In developing the concept of cultural restraints, Kraybill and Nolt expand the ethnic economy literature that only discusses cultural resources, not restraints. This theoretical contribution is valuable because religious beliefs handicap Amish entrepreneurs in many serious ways."
(Contemporary Sociology)"The Amish lifestyle is changing, but the Amish grasp on the land is stronger than ever... The move of Amish into small businesses was documented by Donald B. Kraybill in his recent book, Amish Enterprise... Some Amish 'shopmen' no longer need to work dawn-to-dusk, as they did when tending dairy herds requiring 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. milkings. In this male-dominated society, some men are not the dominant influence in this cultural change because 'twenty percent of the businesses are operated by women."
(Philadelphia Inquirer)"Kraybill studied 1,000 Amish businesses in Lancaster County and found few cases of failure―and some big successes. Some 15 percent had sales over $100,000, and 7 percent had sales over half a million dollars."
(Utne Reader)"At once sensitive and compassionate, this is a significant contribution to understanding how Amish culture is being transformed... This is scholarship at its best."
(Choice, selected as an Outstanding Academic Book)"Provides yet another fine example of Kraybill and Nolt's excellent scholarship on and respect for the Amish people."
(Mennonite Quarterly Review)"Admirably organized, clearly and engagingly written, and free from unnecessary jargon. While objective and independent in approach, Kraybill and Nolt display commendable respect for Amish principles and attitudes."
(Yearbook of the Society of German-American Studies)"Amish Enterprise thoroughly documents the causes and consequences of Amish involvements in business... This book has many of the virtues of the people it studies. It represents thorough work, clear organization and carefully measured judgments. The authors are good story tellers as well as social analysts. The book deserves the acclaim it has received."
(Mennonite Weekly Review)"Amish Enterprise is a well-written, fascinating book on how the Old Order Amish cope with modernity."
(Peter Ester, Director, Institute for Social Research Tilburg University, the Netherlands)"Useful in courses in religion and culture; an excellent supplementary text for courses in sociology... Amish and other minority groups... may be inspired and instructed by this heartening document."
(Gene Burd Utopian Studies)"Important for anyone interested in the interplay between a small, separate religious group and the dominant culture."
