Choice “This book offers a probing and refreshingly critical lens into [Korean Americans’] religious world . . . . An excellent contribution to the growing literature on religion, race, and ethnicity among new Americans.”
Journal for ... Read morethe Scientific Study of Religion “Readily accessible to the general reader, this book provides an excellent study of post-1965 Korean American religions.”
Religious Studies Review "A treat for those exploring the landscape of Korean American spiritual experience. The book offers religious angles on such social issues as gender and patriarchy, marriage and singlehood, family practices, and generational change, as well as such more usual concerns as theology, worship, and church practice. Yoo and Chung also highlight dialogue between Protestant, Buddhist, and Catholic religious perspectives. I particularly like the fact that they include a reflection by a Korean American transnational adoptee, a segment of the Korean American community scholars too frequently overlook. There is much here that will provide food for thought and that will stimulate both scholars and students of Asian American religion."
