Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City focuses on the intersection of religion and civic engagement among Miami's immigrant and minority groups. The contributors examine the role of religious organizations in developing social relationships and how these relationships affect the broader civic world. Essays, for example, consider the role of leadership in the promotion and creation of "civic social capital" in a Haitian Catholic church, transnational ties between Cuban Catholics in Miami and Havana, and several African American congregations that serve as key comparisons of civic engagement among minorities. This book is important not only for its theoretical contributions to the sociology of religion, but also because it gives us a unique glimpse into immigrants' civic and religious lives in urban America. 606 $aChurch work with immigrants$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aChurch work with immigrants$xCatholic Church 606 $aImmigrants$xServices for$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aImmigrants$zFlorida$zMiami$xPolitical activity 606 $aAfrican American churches$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aChurch work with African Americans$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aAfrican Americans$xServices for$zFlorida$zMiami 606 $aAfrican Americans$zFlorida$zMiami$xPolitical activity 606 $aPolitical participation$zFlorida$zMiami 615 0$aChurch work with immigrants 615 0$aChurch work with immigrants$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aImmigrants$xServices for 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aAfrican American churches 615 0$aChurch work with African Americans 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xServices for 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a261.8089/00973 701 $aStepick$b Alex$0728521 701 $aRey$b Terry$0973816 701 $aMahler$b Sarah J.$f1959-$01705073 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810090403321 996 $aChurches and charity in the immigrant city$94091531 997 $aUNINA
