This collection of essays considers the role of spirituality and
religion in the lives of American women from various ethnic
backgrounds, showing how faith empowers those in populations often
marginalized in the United States. Religion and spirituality are
sources of strength and resilience for many women, particularly
ethnically diverse women. This thought-provoking text examines this
psychological trend, exploring the specific ways in which women
from diverse backgrounds have benefited from their faith
traditions, the various spiritual pathways they have chosen, and
the impact of those choices on their lives. Essays in this
informative compilation show how women from African American,
Latina, American Indian, Asian American, and Caucasian backgrounds
recover from difficulties and traumas with the help of their faith.
Contributors consider why women are more likely to endorse
religious engagement than men; why ethnically marginalized women
tap into spirituality for comfort more than any other population;
and why many believers embrace religion as a coping mechanism
throughout their lives-from adolescence to older adulthood. The
work suggests ways for counselors, leaders, and religious figures
to utilize this knowledge to bolster the well-being of those they
serve. Compares commonalities and differences across cultures
Features many different religions including folk practices,
Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, and Santeria Offers a
multi-disciplinary perspective through coverage of cultural
studies, psychology, and women's issues Includes personal vignettes
to demonstrate the power of faith and religion
