Recenzii
Meticulous and ambitious...The Korean lives that she illuminates are poignant and compelling.
With polish and a welcomed fresh purview, Helen Jin Kim reveals the Cold War exchange of activism that linked South Korea and the U.S in a phenomenon of booming Protestant ministry, and gave rise to a Christian Right that could boast transpacific ties while privileging the authority of its white American constituency. This stellar book is essential reading for anyone who wants to grasp the power of modern evangelicalism and its political expressions on a global stage.
This is a fascinating yet sobering examination of ties between South Korea and the US, forged by war and blessed by a mutually advantageous relationship of right-wing evangelical Christianity. Helen Jin Kim's fine book shows how dogmatic certainty invites an unholy alliance with authoritarian power. This trenchant review of recent transpacific history provides timely warning of how easily evangelicalism becomes a handmaiden to populism.
Just when we thought we had examined nearly every facet of contemporary U.S. evangelicalism, Helen Jin Kim swoops in with a thoughtful and fascinating new history that demonstrates that to understand the development of U.S. evangelicalism, one must pay deep attention to evangelical movements in Asia, and Korea, in particular. Kim's lively and compelling account offers a window into the "multiple evangelicalisms" that we encounter today and demands that we engage more seriously with the role of American empire and race in U.S. religious history.
Deeply researched and beautifully written, Race for Revival stitches together the intertwined but often separated stories of Cold War evangelicalism in the United States and Korea. Kim deftly demonstrates how these histories, steeped in race, empire, and war, have profoundly shaped religion and politics through a transpacific framework.
Expanding on religious historian Laurie Maffly-Kipp's call for a Pacific Rim perspective on U.S. religious history...Kim has established in this work a more concrete pathway to transpacific religious history. Challenging the nation-bound focus, she unravels and reties the ambiguous, unseen, and sometimes contradictory pieces in American religious history and Korean Christianity that occurred in the grips of the Cold War politics in Asia. Kim also weaves studies of American religion, Asian American history, and Asian history-three fields that have not often been in conversation-in a transpacific context, which makes the book not only suitable but necessary for interdisciplinary studies.
In Race for Revival, Helen Jin Kim traces not only the rise of Christianity in South Korea as a response to the Cold War, but also how this rise revived evangelical crusades in the U.S. More than mimicking their imperial progenitors like Billy Graham, Korean protestant leaders had their own aspirations in the new world order. This remarkable and meticulous study is only possible through diligent archival research and oral histories conducted over two continents and in two languages. The intermingling religious histories of the U.S. and Korea forecast the rise of Christian Right from the Reagan era to this day and add an important layer of heterogeneity to our conception of Asian America. It's a timely contribution to both the field of transpacific history and our understanding of how religion continues to shape politics today.
Race for Revival excels in bringing forward the story of South Korea's place in the revitalization of American evangelicalism.
Race for Revival is an excellent addition to the ever-growing literature on American evangelicalism and a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand its transpacific origins and ongoing influence.
... a riveting history of US evangelical Christianity, which is inextricable from its Korean counterpart.
