Some expected that religion would die as modernity flourished. Instead, it now stares at us almost daily from the front pages of newspapers and television broadcasts. Although it is usually stories about the Christian Right or conservative Islam that grab headlines, there are many religious activists of other political persuasions that are working quietly for social justice. This book examines how religious immigrants and religious activists are working for equitable treatment for immigrants in the United States. The essays in this book analyze the different ways in which organized religion provides immigrants with an arena for mobilization, civic participation, and solidarity. Contributors explore topics including how non-Western religious groups such as the Vietnamese Caodai are striving for community recognition and addressing problems such as racism, economic issues, and the politics of diaspora; how interfaith groups organize religious people into immigrant civil rights activists at the U.S.?Mexican border; and how Catholic groups advocate governmental legislation and policies on behalf of refugees. 606 $aChurch work with immigrants$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$xReligious life$zUnited States 606 $aSocial justice$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aSocial justice$xReligious aspects 606 $aChristianity and justice 606 $aReligion and justice 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xReligious aspects 615 0$aChurch work with immigrants 615 0$aImmigrants$xReligious life 615 0$aSocial justice$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aSocial justice$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aChristianity and justice. 615 0$aReligion and justice. 676 $a200.86/9120973 701 $aHondagneu-Sotelo$b Pierrette$0276291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996226148803316 996 $aReligion and social justice for immigrants$92212868 997 $aUNISA
