Recenzje

Expanding on religious historian Laurie Maffly-Kipp's call for a Pacific Rim perspective on U.S. religious history...Kim has established in this work a more concrete pathway to transpacific religious history. Challenging the nation-bound focus, she unravels and reties the ambiguous, unseen, and sometimes contradictory pieces in American religious history and Korean Christianity that occurred in the grips of the Cold War politics in Asia. Kim also weaves studies of American religion, Asian American history, and Asian history-three fields that have not often been in conversation-in a transpacific context, which makes the book not only suitable but necessary for interdisciplinary studies.
