In Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans, David K. Yoo
and Khyati Y. Joshi put together a wide-ranging and important
collection of essays documenting the intersections of race and
religion and Asian American communities - a combination so often
missing both in the scholarly literature and in public discourse.
Issues of religion and race/ethnicity undergird current national
debates around immigration, racial profiling, and democratic
freedoms, but these issues, as the contributors document, are
longstanding ones in the United States. The essays included in the
volume feature dimensions of traditions such as Islam, Hinduism,
Sikhism as well as how religion engages with topics such as
religious affiliation (or lack thereof), the legacy of the Vietnam
War, and popular culture. The contributors also address the role of
survey data, pedagogy, methodology, and literature that is richly
complementary and necessary for understanding the scope and range
of the subject of Asian American religions. These essays attest to
the vibrancy and diversity of Asian American religions, while at
the same time situating these conversations in a scholarly lineage
and discourse. This collection will certainly serve as an
invaluable resource for scholars, students, and general readers
with interests in Asian American religions in fields such as ethnic
and Asian American studies, religious studies, American studies,
and related fields that focus on immigration and race.
