An insightful look into the central role of religious community in the largest contemporary wave of new immigrants to New York Chinatown yetGod in Chinatown is a path breaking study of the largest contemporary wave of new immigrants to Chinatown. Since the 1980s, tens of thousands of mostly rural Chinese have migrated from Fuzhou, on Chinas southeastern coast, to New Yorks Chinatown. Like the Cantonese who comprised the previous wave of migrants, the Fuzhou have brought with them their religious beliefs, practices, and local deities. In recent years these immigrants have established numerous specifically Fuzhounese religious communities, ranging from Buddhist, Daoist, and Chinese popular religion to Protestant and Catholic Christianity.This ethnographic study examines the central role of these religious communities in the immigrant incorporation process in Chinatowns highly stratified ethnic enclave, as well as the transnational networks established between religious communities in New York and China. The authors knowledge of Chinese coupled with his extensive fieldwork in both China and New York enable him to illuminate how these networks transmit religious and social dynamics to the United States, as well as how these new American institutions influence religious and social relations in the religious revival sweeping southeastern China.God in Chinatown is the first study to bring to light religion's significant role in the Fuzhounese immigrants dramatic transformation of the face of New Yorks Chinatown.
