"Why has Los Angeles been a hot spot for religious activism, innovation, and diversity?
What makes this Southern California metropolis conducive to spiritual experimentation
and new ways of believing and belonging? A center of world religions, Los Angeles
is the birthplace of Pentecostalism, the site of the largest Roman Catholic diocese
in the U.S., the home of more Buddhists anywhere except for Asia, and home base for
myriad transnational, spiritual movements. Religion in Los Angeles examines historical
and contemporary examples of Angelenos' openness to new forms of belief and practice
in congregations, communities, and civic life. Case studies include: Latino spiritualities
and social activism, Hybrid Jewish identities, Capitalism and fundamentalism in early
20th century Los Angeles, The impact of the 1960s on Roman Catholic Angelenos, Christianity
through a Hindu lens. Highlighted throughout the work are themes including the impact
of the city's diversity on religious experimentation, the importance of Los Angeles'
location in relation to the Mexican border and as a gateway to the Pacific, and the
impact of local politics, social trends and cultural change on religious innovation.
The volume also examines the creative pull between change and continuity and the recognition
that religious communities participate in civic and global conversations. Religion
in Los Angeles includes contributions by leading sociologists, anthropologists, and
historians. This cutting-edge work will be of interest to students and scholars of
religious history, religion in America, sociology of religion, American studies, urban
studies, and race/ethnic studies"
