BOLIVIA. The Nonconformists: The Mennonites of Bolivia. - BOLIVIA. Swift Current Colony. 2002. In a Mennonite church on Sunday. Since the 1920's, Old Colony Mennonites have migrated to the hinterlands of Latin America to resist integration into modern secular society. The integrity of colony life is quickly disappearing today. It may be that the original war resisters and non-conformists will soon be forced into extinction at the hand of the global economy and free trade as farm commodity prices continue to drop. - Larry Towell
