Lawrence\u003c\/strong\u003e, published by \u003cstrong\u003eColumbia University Press\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2004. This insightful 192-page paperback delves into the transformation of religious landscapes in America following the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act. As immigration from Asia surged, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism emerged as the fastest-growing religions in the United States, outpacing all Christian denominations combined. Lawrence thoughtfully examines how these diverse faiths have adapted to, and have been influenced by, the pluralistic nature of American civil society. This book is essential for anyone interested in the sociology of religion, the history of specific racial and ethnic groups, and the evolving dialogue around pluralism in contemporary America. Discover the intricate connections between religion and social issues in this compelling read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruce B.
