abstract
Miami's diverse religious landscape stretches not only across Miami-Dade County, but throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Indeed, many of these religious activities may appear to be more foreign than "American," not of the United States. Are they? Do they focus exclusively or even primarily on immigrants' home countries and perhaps isolate the immigrants from U.S. society? Do they impede rather than assist in immigrant integration into Miami and the United States? Are the immigrant churches somehow fundamentally different from American houses of worship?
