Based on research in the Dallas?Arlington?Fort Worth area of Texas, this book examines the sociocultural spaces in which Vietnamese and Indian immigrants are engaging with the wider civic sphere. As Civic Engagements reveals, religious and ethnic organizations provide arenas in which immigrants develop their own ways of being and becoming "American." Skills honed at a meeting, festival, or banquet have resounding implications for the future political potential of these immigrant populations, both locally and nationally. Employing Lave and Wenger's concept of "communities of practice" as a framework, this book emphasizes the variety of processes by which new citizens acquire the civic and leadership skills that help them to move from peripheral positions to more central roles in American society. 606 $aEast Indian Americans$xPolitical activity$zTexas 606 $aVietnamese Americans$xPolitical activity$zTexas 606 $aEast Indian Americans$zTexas$xSocieties, etc 606 $aVietnamese Americans$zTexas$xSocieties, etc 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocieties, etc$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEast Indian Americans$xPolitical activity 615 0$aVietnamese Americans$xPolitical activity 615 0$aEast Indian Americans$xSocieties, etc. 615 0$aVietnamese Americans$xSocieties, etc. 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocieties, etc. 676 $a323.1191/40764 700 $aBrettell$b Caroline$0993305 701 $aReed-Danahay$b Deborah$0625833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457325803321 996 $aCivic engagements$92457764 997 $aUNINA
