Understanding religion from a material and corporeal angle, this
open access book addresses the ways in which refugees practice
their religions and convert or develop new faiths. It also
evaluates how secular institutions in Europe frame and determine
what is classified as religion according to the law, and delineate
the limits of religious authority, religious practice, and
religious speech. The question of nationalism and migration has
been shaping the political landscape in Europe for more than a
decade, resulting in a nationalist upsurge. This volume places the
current trajectories of people from Asia and Africa who flee from
conditions such as oppression and conflict, and who are seeking
refuge in Europe in a broader historical and comparative
perspective. In so doing, it addresses past experiences in Europe
with the role of religion in both producing and accommodating
refugees, in the aftermath of the Peace of Westphalia, World War
II, and in the context of the Cold War. The ebook editions of this
book are available open access under a CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on
www.bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Utrecht
University and the Max Planck Society.
