Gonzalez's work speaks of this reality not in abstraction, but through the stories of Filipino diaspora Christian communities in San Francisco, California.

Review Quote "Without succumbing to the temptation to paint the struggle for black equality in broad strokes, Jeffries isolates the locus of the issues that framed the movement and uses these to explain how, through a variety of social networks, the movement spread regionally and ultimately nationally...is an exceptional piece of scholarship. Jeffries has produced an important work that will unquestionably reshape the debate over the origins and legacy of the civil rights and black power movements for years to come."-The Journal of American History, Details ISBN0814731961 Short Title FILIPINO AMER FAITH IN ACTION Language English ISBN-10 0814731961 ISBN-13 9780814731963 Media Book Format Hardcover Illustrations Yes Year 2009 Imprint New York University Press Subtitle Immigration, Religion, and Civic Engagement Country of Publication United States Place of Publication New York Pages 224 Publisher New York University Press DOI 10.1604/9780814731963 UK Release Date 2009-02-01 AU Release Date 2009-02-01 NZ Release Date 2009-02-01 US Release Date 2009-02-01 Author Joaquin Jay Gonzalez Publication Date 2009-02-01 Alternative 9780814731970 DEWEY 277.9460830899921 Audience Undergraduate We've got thisAt The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.With fast shipping, low prices, friendly service and well over a million items - you're bound to find what you want, at a price you'll love! 30 DAY RETURN POLICYNo questions asked, 30 day returns!
