This report of the findings of the Religion, Immigration, and Civil Society in Chicago project is a case study of America's growing diversity. In this contribution redressing the neglect of religion in recent immigration studies, Loyola U. Chicago sociologists Kniss and Numrich (also with Theological Consortium of Greater Columbus, Ohio) introduce 11 chapters that study the role of pluralistic congregations as they relate to new immigrants' civic engagement patterns. The book includes recommendations for academia, government, and other parties; illustrations; and methodological notes. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
