{"product_id":"9781498270021","title":"Learning to Speak a New Tongue: Imagining a Way that Holds People Together--An Asian American Conversation","description":"Learning to Speak a New Tongue attempts to respond to a timely question facing America today:  What holds people together in a fragmented world? The response comes from a religious community that has not been very visible: Asian Americans. The author employs the threefold epistemological scaffold familiar to Asian Americans: (1) translocal value orientation embedded in the experiences of racialization, (2) a heightened sensitivity to pathos arising out of our dissonance with the societal norms and values, and (3) amphibolous spirituality, that is, a co-existence of multiple religious traditions without any resolution of their differences. The angle of vision embedded in this epistemological framework of Asian Americans' lives may well provide a clue to an alternate architectural paradigm in building a new peoplehood and to redefine democratic freedom as the historical paradigm of American peoplehood.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172228382960,"sku":"9781498270021","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498270021_p0.jpg?v=1765233325","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498270021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
