The Americanization of Religious Minorities: Confronting the Constitutional Order - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Arguing that "it is a grave error . . . to assume that the areas of law and religion are naturally distinct and mutually exclusive," Mazur (religion, Bucknell U.) explores the ways in which religious groups such as Native Americans, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses have coped with situations in which their beliefs conflicted with the American constitutional order. He finds that accommodation, sustained conflict, or the establishment of a separate peace are the three basic strategies groups can follow. He also argues that the closer a religious order is to Protestant Christianity, the easier the accommodation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
