Synopsis "Religion And Immigration: Migrant Faiths In North America And Western Europe"

This Concise Book Provides Readers With A Comprehensive Overview And Critical Assessment Of The Key Issues And Varied Strands Of Research Relating To Immigration And Religion That Have Been Produced During The Past Two Decades. Religion, Once A Neglected Topic In Migration Studies, Is Today Seen As A Crucially Important Aspect Of The Immigrant Experience. For Some - Particularly Those Focusing On Religion In North America - Religion Has Been Portrayed As A Vital Resource For Many Immigrants Engaged In The Essential Identity Work Required In Adjusting To The Receiving Society. For Others - Particularly Those Who Have Focused On Muslim Immigrants In Western Europe - Religion Tends To Be Depicted As A Source Of Conflict Rather Than One Of Comfort And Consolation. In A Judicious, Engaging, And Highly Readable Account, This Book Sorts Through These Competing Viewpoints, Pointing To An Approach That Will Assist Upper - Level Students And Scholars Alike In Putting These Competing Analyses Into Perspective
