The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration cover

Examines current and emerging trends within the field of religion and migration in the global world.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration presents the story of religion and migration predominantly through the experiences of Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists, considering intersectional issues including race, ethnicity, class, gender and generation throughout. Many chapters are grounded in embodied ethnography including participant observation fieldwork, interviews, oral history collections and qualitative analysis, drawing on sociological and anthropological theory, as well as non-western and historical approaches to religion. Chapters also chronicle migration in regional, transnational, multicultural and populist contexts, examining everyday religiosity and religion across generations. The volume includes chapters on Islam and Muslim identity, Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhism, Filipino and Korean religiosity and Polish Catholicism.

This comprehensive collection considers religion and migration from myriad disciplinary and methodological perspectives. The contributors analyse the complex lives of migrants, focusing on religion as an integral component of contemporary stories of migration. This volume is an invaluable and essential resource to scholars of religion, migration and social change. * Lori G. Beaman, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Religious Diversity and Social Change, University of Ottawa, Canada *
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration shares thoughtful insights about the religious experiences of migrants and covers an impressive breadth of traditions, geographic regions and methodologies. An ideal book for university courses, the editors chose a diverse array of scholars who engage readers with narratives that will provoke additional questions and exploration. * Anne M. Blankenship, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, North Dakota State University, USA *
