| Summary: | Beginning around the mid-1990s, the Pew Charitable Trusts funded large, multi-site studies focusing on immigrant religious organizations in seven “gateway cities” in the United States. This book, based on ethnographic studies of twenty religious institutions representing a variety of ethnic groups and religions as well as a survey of 200 more in the Washington, DC, area, is one of them. The authors, Michael Foley and Dean Hoge, locate their project within the literature indicating that participation in worship communities often has a positive impact on the civic and political involvement of individuals and examine what role immigrant religious organizations play in the civic incorporation of their members. |
