Abstract
What is the attitude toward nature among new post-1965 immigrant religious people to the United States? This paper reports on a case study of Global Christianities, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu traditions in the most recent period of post-1965 immigration in Gainesville, Florida. Over the past fifty years, the ethnic composition of the United States has changed with the arrival of new immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. At the same time, American environmental concerns have grown. What are the attitudes of these new religious groups toward the environment? And how might these new perspectives lend support to or impede the environmental movement? This paper builds on ongoing research among the new immigrant religious sites in Gainesville, Florida.
