New Faiths, Old Fears: Muslims and Other Asian Immigrants in American Religious Life - American Lectures on the History of Religions
Bruce B. Lawrence
As a result of immigration from Asia in the wake of the passage of the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act, the fastest-growing religions in America - faster than Christian groups combined - are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. This book asks how these faiths have changed or have been changed by the pluralist face of American civil society.
