{"product_id":"learning-to-speak-a-new-fumitaka-matsuoka-9781608998289","title":"Learning to Speak a New Tongue","description":"Learning to Speak a New Tongue attempts to respond to a timely question facing America today: What holds people together in a fragmented world? The response comes from a religious community that has not been very visible: Asian Americans. The author employs the threefold epistemological scaffold familiar to Asian Americans: (1) translocal value orientation embedded in the experiences of racialization, (2) a heightened sensitivity to pathos arising out of our dissonance with the societal norms and values, and (3) amphibolous spirituality, that is, a co-existence of multiple religious traditions without any resolution of their differences. The angle of vision embedded in this epistemological framework of Asian Americans' lives may well provide a clue to an alternate architectural paradigm in building a new peoplehood and to redefine democratic freedom as the historical paradigm of American peoplehood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fumitaka Matsuoka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608998282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608998289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pickwick Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Fumitaka Matsuoka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938743156991,"sku":"9781608998289","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7a86ab46-a760-457f-8fa3-c16cf83df146.jpg?v=1681437469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learning-to-speak-a-new-fumitaka-matsuoka-9781608998289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
