ReviewsA first and welcomed attempt to map the spiritual landscape of New York City. New York Glory covers deftly the old changing denominations as well as the new immigrant religions. Old assumptions about secular Gotham may need some revision after reading this broad collection., ( "This detailed story is one that has been long overdue in being told. Dr. Schneller has told it exceedingly well." )-( Proceedings/U.S. Naval Institute ),(), ( "Describes for the first time the difficulties Wesley Brown endured and the concerted effort by a 'tight knot' of Southern upperclassmen to oust him using racial epithets, ostracism, and demerits." )-( Washington Post ),(), "Not only has [Schneller] given us his remarkable insight into one man's story of courage, perseverance and determination, but he has framed that dramatic experience within the larger narration of American race relations in the twentieth century…. Anyone desiring a more complete understanding of African Americans' struggle to desegregate the armed forces will find this book indispensable." - Journal of American History ,, ( "This richly researched and judiciously written study facilitates deeper comprehension of how institutional racism preserved white hegemony in the U.S. Navy until Midshipman Wesley Brown detonated its color barrier." )-(Darlene Clark Hine),(author of A Shining Thread of Hope: The History of Black Women in America ), "A first and welcomed attempt to map the spiritual landscape of New York City. New York Glory covers deftly the old changing denominations as well as the new immigrant religions. Old assumptions about secular Gotham may need some revision after reading this broad collection." - Jose Casanova, author ofPublic Religions in the Modern World, This helpful sourcebook strives to be 'anatomically correct' to the religious demography of New York, providing more on Catholics and Jews, Hispanics and African Americans, than Buddhists, Methodists, or New Age devotees. There's virtue in this approach, and the texture is rich. If you think of New York as a monument to secularity-or as positively the work of the Devil-this book will make you think again., "A first and welcomed attempt to map the spiritual landscape of New York City.

SynopsisIs New York a post-secular city? Massive immigration and cultural changes have created an increasingly complex social landscape in which religious life plays a dynamic role. Yet the magnitude of religion's impact on New York's social life has gone unacknowledged. New York Glory gathers together for the first time the best research on religion in contemporary New York City. It includes contributors from every major research project on religion in New York to provide a comprehensive look at the current state of religion in the city. Moving beyond broad surveys into specific case studies of communities and institutions, it provides a window onto the diversity of religious life in New York. From Italian Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, and Russian Jews to Zen Buddhists, Rastafarians, and Pentecostal Latinas, New York Glory both captures the richness of religious life in New York City and provides an important foundation for our understanding of the current and future shape of religion in America., Is New York a post-secular city?
