Estranged Pioneers: Race, Faith, and Leadership in a Diverse World
In today’s contentious climate, when diversity is both acclaimed and assaulted, this book examines what it means for people of color to lead in diverse multiracial spaces. Specifically, it examines how pastors of color lead the scarce but growing numbers of multiracial congregations in the United States. The book answers the following questions: What does it mean for pastors of color to lead in multiracial spaces? Who are these pastors of color t…
To Be Safe and Seen: Bipoc Gen Z Engagement in Evangelical Campus Ministries
This paper investigates the Gen Z counter-demographic of the religious nones on college and university campuses by focusing on BIPOC students and the stories that they tell about why they actively engage in evangelical campus ministries during their college years. This is carried out by being attentive to the racially segregated campus ministry context and the preponderance of "white spaces" in colleges and universities, including in campus minis…
Evangelical Civil War on the College Campus, White Evangelical Right Framing Resistance to Racial Justice in 2020s America
This paper examines a civil war brewing among evangelicals on the college campus over racial justice-calls for greater racial equality, equity, and inclusion-in the era of Black Lives Matter (BLM). It examines how the white evangelical right are framing their resistance to racial justice and redrawing the color line in the contemporary college evangelical landscape not with distant 'social justice warriors' in broader secular society, but with th…

God's New Whiz Kids?: Korean American Evangelicals on Campus
In the past twenty years, many traditionally white campus religious groups have become Asian American. Today there are more than fifty evangelical Christian groups at UC Berkeley and UCLA alone, and 80% of their members are Asian American. At Harvard, Asian Americans constitute 70% of the Harvard Radcliffe Christian Fellowship, while at Yale, Campus Crusade for Christ is now 90% Asian. Stanford's Intervarsity Christian Fellowship has become almos…
The Kingdom of God Has No Borders: A Global History of American Evangelicals, by Melani MCALISTER
The Kingdom of God Has No Borders provides a global history of American evangelicals. It does this by examining American evangelicals’ complicated and conflicted encounters with the world beyond the U.S. border over the last half century, particularly as citizens of perhaps the most powerful country that this world has ever known. In so doing, the book subtly brings to light multiple areas of research and analysis that have been missing in the fi…

Revival and Renewal: Korean American Protestants beyond Immigrant Enclaves
Much research has been conducted on the various functions that Korean Protestant churches provide for Korean immigrants and the centrality of the church for the community. Most of this research, however, focuses on the Korean American church as an immigrant enclave. Korean American churches are studied essentially as ethno-religious enclaves, detached and secluded from the larger society. Counterbalancing this tendency, this paper examines the mu…
John Cage in Separate Togetherness with Jazz
John Cage conceived of indeterminacy in close historical relationship to modern jazz improvisation during the 1950s but disavowed the latter through a strategy of negation and a rationale based on personal taste. The acquisition of taste is intentional, and Cage's taste for jazz shifted according to his status and identity within the avant-garde, from an interest in hot music that began in the late 1930s to an intransigent rejection of improvisat…
Religion and Ethnicity: Theoretical Connections
The religion literature in Sociology remains largely disconnected from the ethnicity and immigration literature despite enduring connections between religion and ethnicity. This review helps to close this gap. It shows how the dominant theories in each discipline follow a similar trajectory and examines how exploring the theoretical connections between religion and ethnicity can advance our understanding of each social phenomenon. In particular, …

Ethnic Differences in Academic Achievement Between Vietnamese and Cambodian Children: Cultural and Structural Explanations
Many Vietnamese and Cambodians fied war and communist takeover and entered the United States as part of the largest refugee resettlement program in the country's history. Both of the refugee groups traveled a great cultural distance and face similar barriers in adjusting to the United States. Despite these similarities in settlement, the two groups are adapting differently; this is made evident in their children's academic achievement. While the …
Rethinking Residential Assimilation: The Case of a Chinese Ethnoburb in the San Gabriel Valley, California
In this paper, we re-examine new patterns of residential assimilation through the case of a sprawling Chinese ethnoburb in the San Gabriel Valley, California, focusing on the following questions: How have Chinese immigrants of diverse origins and socioeconomic backgrounds negotiated their way into the suburbia of an immigrant gateway metropolis? What is a Chinese ethnoburb like and how does it differ from traditional Chinatowns and from typical A…

The Effects of the Earned Income Tax Credit on Children's Income and Poverty: Who Fares Better
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) has emerged as a central program for low-income families with children since its incremental expansion was fully implemented by 1996. This study examined the contribution of the fully expanded EITC to the children's economic well-being through two measures: (1) the effect on disposable income and (2) the effects on the poverty rate and the poverty gap. The study found that for all American children under age 18…

Social and Economic Inequality and Asian Americans in the United States
Describing social and economic inequality within the Asian American community is difficult. Depending on how “Asian American” is defined, there are twenty to thirty cultures, countries of origin, and a wide range of identities and circumstances that influence economic and social well-being. It is almost presumptuous to attempt to categorize such a diverse collection of identities as one group. At the same time, Asians and Pacific Islanders have b…
The Increasing Income Inequality Among Children
As the proportion of the population of children decreases and the United States is increasingly exposed to global economic competition, children's economic well-being will become a major public policy issue. This study investigated the changes in income inequality among children from 1969 to 1979, 1979 to 1989, and 1969 to 1989 and compared them with the changes among adults and elderly people during the same periods. The major findings were that…

The trend in the income status of children in female-headed families
Is the whole greater than the sum of the parts? Interaction effects of three non-income-tested transfers for families with children
If the government sponsored programs that offered a refundable tax credit for children, national health insurance, and an assured child support benefit to all families with children—poor families as well as nonpoor families—what would happen to poverty and welfare dependency? Using data from the 1987 Survey of Income and Program Participation, the authors simulate the effects of three such programs operating on their own and of all three acting i…

Estimating a Proposed Family Policy's Effects: Incorporating Labor Supply Responses to an Assured Child Support Benefit
Assured child support benefits are an important component of many proposals to reform the child support system. The authors estimate costs and the likely effects of assured benefits on poverty and welfare participation under two scenarios: with and without incorporating the labor supply changes of custodial parents. They find that in each situation assured benefits will reduce poverty rates and the poverty gap; welfare caseloads and expenditures …

A Study of Health Care Coverage Among Children in Immigrant Families in the Post Welfare-Reform Era
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) has targeted lawful immigrants by imposing a broad range of restrictions on access to federally funded benefit programs. Within the federal restrictions, however, states have been granted considerable latitude concerning immigrants. In Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Medicaid, the major benefit programs for low-income children, states are authorized to…
