For centuries Amsterdam was the largest Mennonite urban center, but in recent years, Winnipeg, with over 19,000 Mennonites [in 1990], has gained recognition as one of the largest Mennonite centers in the world. What has brought this about? In this short volume, sociologist Leo Driedger introduces readers to Winnipeg Mennonites. When did they arrive? From where did they come? Where did they settle? How do they live today? What impact have they had on the larger community?
