This innovative volume introduces readers to a variety of
disciplinary and methodological approaches used to examine the
intersections of religion and migration. A range of leading figures
in this field consider the roles of religion throughout various
types of migration, including forced, voluntary, and economic. They
discuss examples of migrations at all levels, from local to global,
and critically examine case studies from various regional contexts
across the globe. The book grapples with the linkages and feedback
between religion and migration, exploring immigrant congregations,
activism among and between religious groups, and innovations in
religious thought in light of migration experiences, among other
themes. The contributors demonstrate that religion is an important
factor in migration studies and that attention to the intersection
between religion and migration augments and enriches our
understandings of religion. Ultimately, this volume provides a
crucial survey of a burgeoning cross-disciplinary, interreligious,
and global area of study.
