This volume, bringing together work by scholars from Europe, East
Asia, North America, and West Africa, investigates transnational
religious spaces in a comparative manner by juxtaposing East Asian
and African examples. It highlights flows of ideas, actors, and
organizations out of, into, or within a given continental space.
These flows are patterned mainly by colonialism or migration. The
book also examines cases where the transnational space in question
encompasses both East Asia and Africa, notably in the development
of Japanese new religions in Africa. Most of the studies are
located in the present; a few go back to the late nineteenth
century. The volume is rounded off by Thomas Tweed's systematic
reflections on categories for the study of transnationalism; his
chapter "Flows and Dams" critically weighs the metaphorical
language we use to think, speak, and write about transnational
religious spaces.
