Bharrat Jagdeo General Editors: David Dabydeen & Lynne Macedo Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald 3 4 SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Raleigh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc. -

Mennonite Communities in Belize Carel Roessingh
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at VU Int. J. Business and Globalisation, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2007 107 Mennonite communities in Belize Carel Roessingh Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Culture, Organisation and Management, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelenlaan 1081, Room Z-240, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands Fax: +31 20 5986765 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper addresses the entrepreneurial activities within different Mennonite communities in Belize and the way religious differentiation plays a role in their entrepreneurship. In spite of the fact that most Mennonites live quite isolated from the wider society, building upon their Christian beliefs, agricultural skills and a strong working ethos, they have been able to establish a strong and stable economic position within Belize. The paper specifically focuses on the interplay between religious and entrepreneurial differentiation and the way this influences the progressiveness of different Mennonite communities. Keywords: Belize; Mennonite identity; religion; entrepreneurs; community and differentiation. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Roessingh, C. (2007) ‘Mennonite communities in Belize’, Int. J. Business and Globalisation, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp.107–124. Biographical notes: Carel Roessingh studied Cultural Anthropology and received his PhD at the University of Utrecht. His PhD research was on the Belizean Garifuna. His central research topic focuses on the organisational activities of the Mennonites in Belize. He is Senior Lecturer at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Culture, Organisation and Management. 1 Introduction In economic analyses entrepreneurs are often seen as agents who play a role in the arena of the market in which they make decisions to organise productive activities and are seen as the main risk bearers, innovators and industrial leaders (Ripsas, 1998). -

Where “God Sleeps at Night”: Integration, Differentiation and Fragmentation in a Mennonite Colony
Where “God sleeps at night”: Integration, Differentiation and Fragmentation in a Mennonite Colony Anne Kok and Carel Roessingh, VU University, Amsterdam Introduction In 2008 the Belizean Mennonite communities celebrated their 50th anniversary. Together they looked back, reflecting on where they had come from, how they started making a home in the jungle and how a thriving farming community had developed. And they asked how, while setting themselves apart from the ‘worldly’, they had successfully established themselves as a significant part of the Belizean society. This paper is about the community of Shipyard Colony in northern Belize, home to over 3000 Mennonites, the majority Old Colony Church members, a minority Kleine Gemeinde and Evangelical Mennonite Mission Church (EMMC) members. We will look at Shipyard from three cultural perspectives: that of integration, differentiation and fragmentation (Martin, 1992, 2002) to explain how changes in the last 50 years affected community life. Our findings are based on nine 168 Journal of Mennonite Studies months of ethnographic research, from October 2008 to June 2009. By telling the story of three different generations – pioneers, middle age adults and youth – we illustrate that increasing modernity at Shipyard has fragmented the community. This paper is structured as follows: first we will focus on the history of Shipyard and ask several questions. To what degree were they able to withstand absorption and assimilation into the evolving, wider rural society? How do they attribute religious meaning to these changes and associated conflict, especially with regard to technological adaptation? We will answer these questions by telling stories from three gener- ations. -

The Hoover Mennonites in Belize: a History of Expansion in the Shadow of Separation
The Hoover Mennonites in Belize: A History of Expansion in the Shadow of Separation Carel Roessingh Associate Professor Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Organization Sciences Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Daniëlle Bovenberg Doctoral candidate Technology Management Program University of California, Santa Barbara Abstract We examine the migration history of the Old Order Hoover Mennonites located in the small, multi- ethnic country of Belize. The Hoover Mennonites live in the settlements of Upper Barton Creek, Springfield, Birdwalk, and Roseville. Characterized as one of Belize’s more conservative churches, the Hoover Church is also Belize’s most geographically dispersed Mennonite community. This paper brings together historical and present-day sources to account for and chart this dispersion. To describe what brought together this group between 1958 and 1984 and what drove their subsequent migration across Belize, we examine the religious and legal circumstances of the founding of their settlements. Observations and reflections on their most recent expansion consider how changes in immigration policy, desire for separation from worldly influences, and population growth contributed to an Old Order community that is doubly separated: from the world and from kindred settlements. Keywords Hoover Mennonites; Belize; Old Order Mennonites; Noah Hoover Church; Expansion; Migration Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Piet Visser for his comments on an earlier draft. The first author would like to thank members of the Hoover Mennonite communities mentioned in this article for their hospitality and kindness. The authors also thank Cory Anderson for careful comments on earlier drafts.
