Sommario/riassunto |
|
American religious history is tied up with the history of immigration, from the first settlers in the 'Promised Land' to today's arrivals from every corner of the globe. This volume examines the immigrant experience and the changes that arrivals in the New World felt in their lives - and in the meaning of religion. |
