Abstract
Antony W. Alumkal. Asian American Evangelical Churches: Race, Ethnicity, and Assimilation in the Second Generation. New York: LFB Scholarly Pub., 2003. 218 pages. ISBN-13: 978-1-931202-64-0
The key aim of this sociological-religious book is to “expand the scholarly knowledge of the religious life among the post-1965 wave of Asian Americans, particularly those of the American born/raised second generation, and of how religion— specifically, American evangelical Christianity—interacts with issues of ethnic and racial identity” (173). For this academic purpose and with race-based religious sociological methodology, Alumkal provides an ethnographic observation on two Asian American churches in the New York City area, namely, the Chinese Community Church, an independent Chinese evangelical church, and the Korean Presbyterian Church, a PC (USA) church.
