Focusing on migration and mobility, this edited collection examines
the religious landscape of Brazil as populated and shaped by
transnational flows and domestic migratory movements. Bringing
together interdisciplinary perspectives on migration and religion,
this book argues that Brazil's diverse religious landscape must be
understood within a dynamic global context. From southern to
northern Europe, through Africa, Japan and the Middle East, to a
host of Latin American countries, Brazilian society has been
influenced by immigrant communities accompanied by a range of
beliefs and rituals drawn from established 'world' religions as
well as alternative religio-spiritual movements. Consequently, the
formation and profile of 'homegrown' religious communities such as
Santo Daime, the Dawn Valley and Umbanda can only be fully
understood against the broader backdrop of migration. Contributors
draw on the case of Brazil to develop frameworks for understanding
the interface of religion and migration, asking questions that
include: How do the processes and forces of re-territorialization
play out among post-migratory communities? In what ways are the
post-transitional dynamics of migration enacted and reframed by
different generations of migrants? How are the religious symbols
and ritual practices of particular worldviews and traditions
appropriated and re-interpreted by migrant communities? What role
does religion play in facilitating or impeding post-migratory
settlement? Religion, Migration and Mobility engages these
questions by drawing on a range of different traditions and
research methods. As such, this book will be of keen interest to
scholars working across the fields of religious studies,
anthropology, cultural studies and sociology.
