New Faiths, Old Fears: Muslims and Other Asian Immigrants in American Religious Life (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780231115209)

Now a leading scholar asks how these new faiths have changed or have been changed by the pluralist face of American civil society and by the deep-rooted American ambivalence toward foreign traditions.
