内容説明
How have minority faiths in the United States met the challenges posed to them--as minorities--by the American Protestant mainstream? Here, scholars explore not only the survival strategies of these faiths, but also the public arenas where minority-majority conflicts have transpired. Covering the period from roughly the Civil War to World War I, the contributors focus on Judaism, Catholicism, Mormonism, Protestant immigrant faiths (Mennonites, Missouri Synod Lutherans, and Christian Reformed), and African American churches. Earlier studies have viewed minority faiths as victims of history; this volume sees them as active agents that have responded to challenges, often in diverse and creative ways.
Other faiths, including some Native American religions, also are discussed, and the introduction places the contributions in their historical and contemporary contexts.
