Religion--both personal faith and institutional traditions--plays a central role in the lives of the 12.5 million Asians in the U.S., providing comfort and meaning, shaping ethical and political beliefs, and influencing Asian American culture and arts. For an increasing number of Asian Americans, religion has become the means by which they have organized panethnically. Drawing on surveys of 50-plus Chinese and Japanese American congregations in the San Francisco Bay area, Jeung's (Asian American studies, San Francisco State U.) study examines Asian American panethnic churches, how and why they develop, how leaders build fellowship and solidarity around a new group identity, and how congregations give expression to new group identities. For courses in ethnicity, religion, and Asian American studies. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
