Description

Typically, scholars approach migrants' religions as a safeguard of cultural identity, something that connects migrants to their communities of origin.

This ethnographic anthology challenges that position by reframing the religious experiences of migrants as a transformative force capable of refashioning narratives of displacement into journeys of spiritual awakening and missionary calling.

These essays explore migrants' motivations in support of an argument that to travel inspires a search for new meaning in religion.
