Since the arrival of the Puritans, various religious groups,
including Quakers, Jews, Catholics, and Protestant sects, have
migrated to the United States. The role of religion in motivating
their migration and shaping their settlement experiences has been
well documented. What has not been recorded is the contemporary
story of how migrants from Mexico and Central America rely on
religion-their clergy, faith, cultural expressions, and everyday
religious practices-to endure the undocumented journey. At a time
when anti-immigrant feeling is rising among the American public and
when immigration is often cast in economic or deviant terms,
Migration Miracle humanizes the controversy by exploring the harsh
realities of the migrants' desperate journeys. Drawing on over 300
interviews with men, women, and children, Jacqueline Hagan focuses
on an unexplored dimension of the migration undertaking-the role of
religion and faith in surviving the journey. Each year hundreds of
thousands of migrants risk their lives to cross the border into the
United States, yet until now, few scholars have sought migrants'
own accounts of their experiences.
