Immigrant Faith examines trends and patterns relating to religion
in the lives of immigrants. The volume moves beyond specific
studies of particular faiths in particular immigrant destinations
to present the religious lives of immigrants in the United States,
Canada, and Europe on a broad scale. Religion is not merely one
aspect among many in immigrant lives. Immigrant faith affects daily
interactions, shapes the future of immigrants in their destination
society, and influences society beyond the immigrants themselves.
In other words, to understand immigrants, one must understand their
faith. Drawing on census data and other surveys, including data
sources from several countries and statistical data from thousands
of immigrant interviews, the volume provides a concise overview of
immigrant religion. It sheds light on whether religion shapes the
choice of destination for migrants, if immigrants are more or less
religious after migrating, if religious immigrants have an easier
adjustment, or if religious migrants tend to fare better or worse
economically than non-religious migrants. Immigrant Faith covers
demographic trends from initial migration to settlement to the
transmission of faith to the second generation. It offers the
perfect introduction to big picture patterns of immigrant religion
for scholars and students, as well as religious leaders and policy
makers.
