New Spiritual Homes investigates how religious traditions,
movements, and institutions have been vital for Asian Americans,
past and present. Through essays, expressive works, and resource
materials, it re-frames the religious landscape and brings into
view the experiences of Asian Americans. How has religion assisted
people in dealing with the upheaval of migration and with other
transformations? In what ways has religion been a part of the
identity formation of Asian immigrants and their descendants in the
United States? How has religion played a role in the formation of
Asian diasporas? These questions and many others emerge as the
contributors explore the ways individuals and communities have
constructed and continue to construct their world-views in light of
their religious commitments.
The essays cover an impressive range of topics: Chinese American
Protestant nationalism, the development of a Filipino American folk
religion, law and religion among American Sikhs, and identity and
Taiwanese Buddhism in southern California. Authors seek out what
can be discovered at the intersection of religion and gender, race,
colonialism, and sexuality. This volume includes an extensive
bibliography that will be a vital resource for scholars and
students.
