The purpose of this book is to provide valuable anthropological
data on the identity construction of a rapidly growing Chinese
Christian population in the United States. As more and more Chinese
of different generations and varying cultural backgrounds practice
evangelical Christianity, the meaning of Chinese American will
change accordingly. The book provides significant linguistic data
for a nascent but important area of anthropological research. The
scope of the book encompasses Asian American homiletics, discourse
analysis and prosody, types of sermons and roles of men and women
in a diverse, multilingual church. Parallels between Confucianism
and Christianity and the role of "gradual evangelism" in identity
construction are discussed. These elements are contextualized
within current sociocultural and economic spheres and address the
implications of the "model minority" and Asian patriarchy. The book
provides original linguistic data of sermons in Mandarin, Cantonese
and English. The book posits that the Chinese of the Boston church
have developed an ethno-Christian identity and this identity
demonstrated through ethnically marked prosodic cues, unites the
congregation in the ethnic church. This position challenges some
current approaches to identity construction and the role of
religion in immigrant communities.
