    Community and Schism among the Old Colony Mennonites of Belize: A Case Study Tanja Plasil, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Introduction In northern Belize, formerly British Honduras, lies the Altkolonier (Old Colony) Mennonite colony of Shipyard.1 Here the Mennonites form a distinct group within the wider Belizean society because of their appearance, language, religion, and lifestyle. At first glimpse Shipyard may seem like a coherent community, frozen in time, but a closer look reveals that things are quite different from what they appear. The formerly uniform community is showing cracks. A group of people have started to meet to study the Bible, and have begun doubting the old system within which they were living. The old ways do not seem plausible anymore. In order to contain the damage and to keep the rest of the community in line, the preachers have excommunicated members of the Bible Study group, banning them from being a part of community life.2 This 252 Journal of Mennonite Studies means that they, the “outcasts,” face a life of hardship, as they are shunned by even close family members, and do not receive any assistance from former friends or neighbours. To cope with this situation, they have formed a new group within the colony, one that provides mutual support and gives new meaning to their lives. This has worked quite well for some time, but before too long this new group also began splitting into different sub-groups. In this article,3 I focus on the circumstances and social tools that have kept the Altkolonier colony in Belize from becoming part of the wider society for such a long time, and, indeed, how members have kept the community intact.

  • Marriage Patterns Among Old Colony Mennonites in Argentina
    Marrying the Brother’s Wife’s Sister: Marriage Patterns among Old Colony Mennonites in Argentina Lorenzo Cañás Bottos, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Introduction The objective of this article is to assess the existence and analyse the consequences of a particular type of marriage pattern in a Men- nonite colony. For this, I apply an approach to the study of a complex kinship system that stems from studies of elementary kinship systems. That is, considering the kinship network of a whole population as the unit of study instead of concentrating on households or individual genealogies. I demonstrate the widespread existence of a marriage pattern characterised by two siblings marrying with two siblings (sibling or sister exchange within anthropological parlance), or in other words, marrying one’s sibling’s spouse’s sibling. I would like to clarify from the start that this article does not concern itself with the causes of this pattern, but with its consequences (particularly on effects on land redistribution and the marriage possibilities of the following gen- 76 Journal of Mennonite Studies eration). The main argument is that the marriage pattern in question does not lead toward the consolidation of land, but tends to equalise the distribution of wealth. Furthermore, when taking into account unwritten rules on marriage within the colony, this pattern produces the unintended consequence of opening up marriage opportunities to the following generation. This article is based on fieldwork in La Nueva Esperanza, an Old Colony Mennonite settlement in Argentina (for further details on this colony see Cañás Bottos, 2005, 2008a). The main economic activities in the colony are agriculture and dairy cattle breeding.

  • Genomic and Climatic Effects on Human Crania from South America: a Comparative
    Genomic and Climatic Effects on Human Crania from South America: A Comparative Microevolutionary Approach Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brianne C. Herrera, M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Mark Hubbe, Advisor Clark Spencer Larsen Debbie Guatelli-Steinberg Jeffrey McKee Copyrighted by Brianne C. Herrera 2019 Abstract Cranial morphology has been widely used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among and between populations. When compared against genetic data, however, discrepancies arise in terms of population affinity and effects of microevolutionary processes. These discrepancies are particularly apparent in studies of the human dispersion to the New World. Despite the apparent discrepancies, research has thus far been limited in scope when analyzing the relationship between the cranial morphology and genetic markers. This dissertation aimed to fill this void in research by providing a necessary broad comparative approach, incorporating 3D morphological and climate data, mtDNA, and Y-chromosome DNA from South America. The combination of these data types allows for a more complete comparative analysis of microevolutionary processes. Correlations between these different data types allow for the assessment their relatedness, while quantitatively testing microevolutionary models permit determining the congruence of these different data types. I asked the following research questions: 1) how consistent are the patterns of population affinity when comparing different regions of the crania to each type of DNA for populations in South America? 2) If they are not consistent, why not? How are different evolutionary forces affecting the affinities between them? Collectively, both the cranial and genetic data demonstrated patterns of isolation-by-distance when viewed from a continent-wide scale.

  • Obedience and Transgression Among Bolivian Old Colony Mennonites
    The Dynamics of Boundaries: Obedience and Transgression among Bolivian Old Colony Mennonites Anna Sofia Hedberg1 Faculty Office for Humanities and Social Sciences Uppsala University Uppsala, Sweden Abstract Boundaries keep people apart just as they keep people together. Boundaries are social constructs made by man in order to maintain the natural order of things. The aim of this article is to elaborate on the social construct of boundaries and particularly acknowledge their dynamic character. Social and cultural boundaries are passable, changeable, and negotiable. Nonetheless, boundaries are fundamental to many peoples’ existence and survival as ethnic and cultural communities and must therefore be acknowledged as essential human needs. By focusing on the members of a conservative Christian community—Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia—as they carry out practices in relation to the outside world, the article illustrates processes that help sustain the group’s boundaries towards the outside as well as processes that simultaneously challenge and to some extent transform these same boundaries. Keywords Boundaries; Obedience; Disobedience; Old Colony Mennonites; Bolivia; Ordnung Hedberg, Anna Sofia. 2016. “The Dynamics of Boundaries: Obedience and Transgression among Bolivian Old Colony Mennonites.” Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(2):149-67. 150 Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 4(2) Introduction Boundaries: physical or mental; visual or imagined; social, political, or religious. At first sight, they tend to seem so rigid, so permanent. Boundaries keep people apart just as they keep people together. Not only people but also phenomena, things, and ideologies are enclosed by boundaries. The raison d’être of boundaries is to maintain categories, to hinder the mixing of, for instance, ideas, things, and people that should be kept separate.
