Borderland Religion narrates, presents and interprets the
fascinating and significant practices when borders, migrants and
religion intersect. This collection of original essays combines
theology, philosophy and sociology to examine diverse religious
issues surrounding external national borders and internal domestic
borders as these are challenged by the unstoppable flow of
documented and undocumented migrants. While many studies of
migration have examined how religion plays a major role in the
assimilation and integration of waves of migration, this volume
looks at a number of empirical studies of how emergent religious
practices arise around border crossings. The volume begins with a
detailed analysis of the borderland religion context and research.
The aim is to bring an eschatological interpretation of the
borderland religion, its impact and significance for migrants.
Themes include a critical analysis of how religion has formatted
Europe; empirical studies from the US/Mexican border and Southern
Africa; an overview of the European refugee crisis in 2015;
editors' account of borderland religion from the perspective of
citizenship studies. Contributions of scholars from a broad range
of disciplines ensure a careful analysis of this highly topical
situation. The volume's interdisciplinary profile will appeal to
scholars and students in religious studies, migration studies,
theology and citizenship studies.
