White Christian Privilege
Exposes the invisible ways in which white Christian privilege disadvantages racial and religious minorities in America The United States is recognized as the most religiously diverse country in the world, and yet its laws and customs, which many have come to see as normal features of American life, actually keep the Constitutional ideal of “religious freedom for all” from becoming a reality. Christian beliefs, norms, and practices infuse our soci…
Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans
In Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans, David K. Yoo and Khyati Y. Joshi assemble a wide-ranging and important collection of essays documenting the intersections of race and religion and Asian American communities—a combination so often missing both in the scholarly literature and in public discourse. Issues of religion and race/ethnicity undergird current national debates around immigration, racial profiling, and democratic freedoms,…
New Roots in America's Sacred Ground
In this compelling look at second-generation Indian Americans, Khyati Y. Joshi draws on case studies and interviews with forty-one second-generation Indian Americans, analyzing their experiences involving religion, race, and ethnicity from elementary school to adulthood. As she maps the crossroads they encounter as they navigate between their homes and the wider American milieu, Joshi shows how their identities have developed differently from the…
South Asian Religions in Contemporary America
Although South Asian American histories stretch back centuries, South Asian immigration to the United States has been increasing particularly rapidly over the past three decades. Made up predominantly of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, the immigrant cohorts represented in this group are both racial and religious minorities in the United States—neither white nor Christian. This chapter locates contemporary South Asian immigration in its historical con…
Segregation, Exclusion, and the Chinese Communities in Georgia, 1880s-1940
This chapter examines the impact of various state apparatuses, including exclusion laws, on the little remarked but fascinating Chinese American merchant communities in Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah, Georgia. Federal Chinese Exclusion laws established a highly selective exemption system designed to prevent most Chinese from entering and reentering the United States. The law explicitly barred the first-time entry of laborers but allowed Chinese t…
Racialization of Religion and Global Migration
In the global migration story, the arrival of a diverse group of migrants can trigger intense debates about how and where people are accommodated into the host society. South Asian migrants have been moving across borders to nations where they are often both racial and religious minorities who experience the racialization of religion. The racialization of religion is a process that begins where certain phenotypical features associated with a grou…
Reflections on the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life's Asian Americans
This article examines the background behind the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life's 2012 report, Asian Americans: A Mosaic of Faiths. The authors discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the study, particularly the way certain questions and categories of analysis in the survey were framed. In particular, the article notes how Asian American Muslims and Sikhs were marginalized in the survey and the report of its results
Asian American Religions in a Globalized World
Guest editors Sylvia Chan-Malik and Khyati Joshi provide an overview of the special issue on Asian American religions. The introduction traces the history of the study of Asian American religions, describing trends and development of the field. In particular, they focus on religion and Asian American racialization in the wake of 9/11. The essay includes a summary of the pieces collected in the special issue
Asian Americans in Dixie
The migrations of Manilamen, Bengali Muslim peddlers, and Chinese merchants and coolies extend the history of Asian Americans in the South into the early nineteenth and twentieth century. Between 1950 and 2000, the Asian American population in the American South increased more than one hundred times, much higher than the national average and the greatest increase among all regions of the United States. Extending the understanding of race and ethn…
The Racialization of Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism in the United States
In this article I posit the "racialization" of religion, a process that begins when certain phenotypical features associated with a group and attached to race in popular discourse become associated with a particular religion or religions. By examining the experiences of Indian Americans—a group made up primarily of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs—I explore the racialization process and show how the racialization of religion exacerbates the "othering" …
