• Sommario/riassunto: The US has been described as a nation of immigrants, but it is also a nation of religions in which Muslims and Methodists, Buddhists and Baptists live and work side by side. This book explores that nation of religions, focusing on how four arrived religious communities - Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs - are being shaped by American values.
