Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-20 00:00:00 Bernd Weller Some of the chapters in this book were quite strong (in particular the ones Japanese Buddhists and internment, Hinduism and American geography and the de-whitening of Christianity). I also thought the final chapter did a nice job tying everything together. But the first section, on Muslims, didn't do much for me. Both chapters focused pretty narrowly on post-9/11 America, but were broadly inclusive in terms of racial/ethnic groups. The chapters in the other religions' sections did the opposite, looking at a more specific ethnic group but over a longer time frame, which I liked a lot more. And I'm absolutely baffled as to how you can have a book about these religions (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism) and their political position/influence in America and not include any sort of detail on the Nation of Islam. It seems like a huge oversight to me. But overall, I enjoyed it.
