This book uses case studies of the Congolese Christian diaspora in
the UK and US to explore the making of religious spaces and
transnational networks in an era of globalisation. Religion is a
key aspect of the community, social and political life of Congolese
migrants. Despite their academic and policy relevance in terms of
displacement and diaspora formation processes, Congolese migrant
communities have been scantily researched. Religion, Migration and
Globalization analyses the social meaning of this religious
presence and territorialisation in a context of economic and
socio-spatial marginalisation for Congolese migrants. These
migrants who had (and for some, still have) to address the
predicaments of displacement, relocation and the status of being 'a
minority within a minority', as Francophone black African migrants
in English-speaking countries. Drawing on extensive ethnographic
data, David Garbin captures the nuances of a complex and changing
social and religious landscape in an era of globalisation and
migration.
