Overnight, the family was thrust into a society they did not understand and did not understand them in this powerful story of understanding how our beginnings often define us. “Your mother and father are running away," said a voice piercing the warm air.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mary-Ann’s story is achingly poignant, and her narrative will not only unravel her past but provide unique insight into the hearts and minds of Hutterite people. #2 The Hutterite faith was born in the sixteenth century when Jacob Hutter, an Austrian hatmaker, led a group of Anabaptists to a new kind of Christian community. They sold everything they had and shared the money among everyone, as every man had need. #3 I was approached by a journalist friend to write a magazine article about Hutterite gardens. I knew the Hutterite colony I wanted to visit, Fairholme, because I had heard the story of their garden from my mother, who had worked there. #4 I visited the Hutterite community, where I met with Judy and her sister Selma, the head cook. I was given an outfit to wear by a nearby house, and I was transported back to the summers of my childhood.

In 1969, Mary-Ann Kirkby's parents did the unthinkable. They left a Hutterite colony near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, with seven children and little else, to start a new life. Overnight, the family was thrust into a society they did not understand and which knew little of their unique culture. The transition was overwhelming. More than 40,000 Hutterites live on 400 colonies throughout the U.S. and Canada's Prairie provinces. Spiritual cousins to the Mennonites and the Amish, this 500-year-old culture with European roots has been in North America since the late 1800s, yet few outsiders know anything about its customs or traditions. I Am Hutterite takes you inside Fairholme Colony, where Kirkby spent the first ten years of her life. Her detailed portrait of Hutterian people opens a window on a closedcommunity and reveals a way of life that seems extraordinary to the outside world.
Of Pork and Potatoes is a remarkable story of perseverance in the face of adversity. Bill Massey recounts his childhood growing up in a troubled home in rural Manitoba. By finding the people who gave him space to move forward, committing to hard work, upholding his integrity, and above all, never giving up, he managed to survive and use his skills to help others, becoming a teacher, principal, and advocate for disadvantaged children. When an illegal hog farm operation started affecting Bill Massey’s community, it was not a big step to move from teaching and advocating for children to dealing with the injustices he saw in his community. The Planning Act of Manitoba has made it virtually impossible for rural people to protect their rights and the well being of their communities from unscrupulous corporations. With fifteen years of fighting under their belt, Bill Massey and his community continue to pursue their rights and protect the environment from the forces threatening their way of life. Of Pork and Potatoes will empower and inspire anyone looking for true stories about people who confront the odds with courage and determination and pursue justice with integrity.
Provides 195 original Hutterite recipes, translated into family-size portions, for such foods as buckwheat sausage, dumplings, chili soup, and desserts
Featuring contributions from leading lawyers, historians and social scientists, this path-breaking volume explores encounters of laws, people, and places in Australia since 1788. Its chapters address three major themes: the development of Australian settler law in the shadow of the British Empire; the interaction between settler law and First Nations people; and the possibility of meaningful encounter between First laws and settler legal regimes in Australia. Several chapters explore the limited space provided by Australian settler law for respectful encounters, particularly in light of the High Court's particular concerns about the fragility of Australian sovereignty. Tracing the development of a uniquely Australian law and the various contexts that shaped it, this volume is concerned with the complexity, plurality, and ambiguity of Australia's legal history.

This comprehensive volume presents the biographies of 1,000 women who were active in the British decorative arts over the last few centuries. Some of these women are known today, some are not, yet all made valuable contributions in areas such as stained glass, metalwork, pottery, woodcarving, illustration, bookbinding and decoration, sculpture, decorative embroidery, decorative jewellery, and illumination. This volume is the largest of its kind to document the lives and careers of some British women artists and decorative artists, published in Britain to date, and helps to shed new light on a still-neglected area of British art and design history. It includes entries for well-known artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Mary Lowndes, and Alice Woodward, alongside influential but forgotten women such as Mary Symonds, Amy Singer, and Catherine Donaldson. Researched and written by Dr. Sara Gray over a period of eight years, this book is her third to be published. She completed a B.A. Hons Degree in 1992 at Bolton University, followed by a Ph.D. in 2002 awarded by Manchester University. She has a particular interest in the work of British women artists and in regional arts and crafts.
