As a result of immigration from Asia in the wake of the passage of the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act, the fastest-growing religions in America-faster than all Christian groups combined-are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. In this remarkable book, a leading scholar of religion asks how these new faiths have changed or have been changed by the pluralist face of American civil society. How have these new religious minorities been affected by the deep-rooted American ambivalence toward foreign traditions? Bruce Lawrence casts a comparativist eye on the American religious scene and explores the ways in which various groups of Asian immigrants have, and sometimes have not, been integrated into the American polity. In the process, he offers several important correctives. Too often, Lawrence argues, profiles of Asian American experience focus exclusively on immigrants from East Asia, to the exclusion of South Asian and West Asian voices.New Faiths, Old Fears seeks to make all Asians equally important and to break free of traditional geographic markers, most reflecting nineteenth-century imperial values, that artificially divide the people of the "Middle East" from the rest of Asia, with whom they share certain religious and cultural ties. Iranian Americans, in particular, emerge as a vital bridge group whose experience tells us much about how Asians of many different backgrounds have found their way in their new nation.Beyond simply expanding and refining our conception of who Asian Americans are, Lawrence draws instructive comparisons between Asian Americans' experience and those of Native, African, and Hispanic Americans, exposing undercurrents of racial and class antagonisms. He concludes that we cannot fully comprehend the contours and valences of culture and religion in America without understanding how this racialized class prejudice shapes the views of the dominant class toward immigrants and other marginal groups.

La présence d'Églises africaines en Europe est un phénomène relativement récent qui accompagne, en les suivant de près, les vagues de migration africaine. Loin d'être le résultat d'une entreprise missionnaire africaine, l'implantation des premières Eglises fut à l'initiative des migrants eux-mêmes et répondait à une demande d'encadrement des chrétiens africains qui avaient formé les premières assemblées en exil. Cet ouvrage regroupe des enquêtes engagées sur des terrains inédits : Portugal, Italie, Suisse, Belgique, France, avec des ramification dans les Amériques et naturellement en Afrique. Les nouveaux territoires circulatoires des migrants-missionnaires " témoignent de la double scène (Afrique/Europe) dans laquelle s'inscrivent ces diasporas chrétiennes africaines qu'on ne peut assimiler aux Black Churches afro-américaines. Le thème de la " mission inversée fait de l'Europe un champ missionnaire inédit pour les chrétiens africains qui se posent en guides de la régénération morale d'une Europe déchristianisée. Le défi est ici celui d'une rencontre historique entre les formes diversifiées d'un christianisme prophétique et pentecôtiste, et les ressources d'une africanité qui se réinvente dans les cheminements de l'expérience migratoire et se projette dans l'imaginaire de la reconquête spirituelle de l'Europe. Les politiques locales d'intégration misent sur les vertus multiculturelles de l'évangélisme musical, mais la politique biblique des Nations, nations en héritage à retrouver, nations à conquérir ou à " gagner à Jésus ", réveillent l'imaginaire christique des souffrances et du salut du peuple noir.
