| Summary: | Will Herberg famously noted that European immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century were asked to shed their cultural values and customs with the exception of their religious faith. These faith traditions would allow them to maintain some distinction with American society while at the same time find a place at the Judeo-Christian table, and thereby integrate into the mainstream of American life. But since that time, new immigrants are now invited to celebrate their ethnic and religious backgrounds in a new multicultural era. Pyong Gap Min's latest work brings together a novel comparison of Korean immigrants who adhere to a relatively modern form of conservative Protestant Christianity, and Indian immigrants who identify with one of the oldest religions in the world, Hinduism. |
