This is a significant in-depth study that explores the cultural
context of the religious experience of West Indian immigrant
communities. Whereas most studies to date have focussed on how
immigrants settle in their new home contexts, Janice A.
McLean-Farrell argues for a more comprehensive perspective that
takes into account the importance of religion and the role of both
'home' and the 'host' contexts in shaping immigrant lives in the
Diaspora. West Indian Pentecostals: Living Their Faith in New York
and London explores how these three elements (religion, the 'home'
and 'host' contexts) influence the ethnic-religious identification
processes of generations of West Indian immigrants. Using case
studies from the cities of New York and London, the book offers a
critical cross-national comparison into the complex and indirect
ways the historical, socio-economic, and political realities in
diaspora contribute to both the identification processes and the
'missional' practices of immigrants. Its focus on Pentecostalism
also provides a unique opportunity to test existing theories and
concepts on the interface of religion and immigration and makes
important contributions to the study of Pentecostalism.
