Synopsis

The complex and changing relationship between religion and migration is central to many urgent questions about diversity, inequality and pluralism. This wide-ranging collection of articles explores these questions in different periods of history, in different regions of the world and in different traditions of faith. The emphasis is on how religions inspire, manage and benefit from migration as well as on how the experience of migration affects religious beliefs, identities and practices. The volumes examine the interface between religion and migration at levels of analysis ranging from the local to the global, and from the individual to the faith community.With an original introduction by the editor, this collection of papers will serve as an excellent reference source to scholars, practitioners and academics working in the field of migration and religion.
