Gender, Religion and Migration is the first multidisciplinary
collection on the intersection of gender and religion in the
integration of different groups of immigrants, migrant workers,
youths, and students in host societies in Asia-Pacific, Europe,
Latin America and North America. It investigates the linkages and
tensions between religion and integration from a gendered
perspective. By examining the contemporary significance of religion
in the context of global migrations, the fifteen research-based
essays provide new insights and perspectives on the often missed
link between the differing ways in which male and female immigrants
find meanings of faith-beliefs and religious traditions to belong
in foreign lands, even residents' faith-based activism involving
illegal migrants. While religion provides mechanisms for
negotiating immigrant life in the host countries, it also inhibits
integration of immigrants especially in countries where the
majority religion is different. This dual phenomenon of religion
promoting and inhibiting integration is critically examined in the
lives of Filipinos, Brazilians, Indians, Polish, Mexicans,
Vietnamese, Kenyans, Nigerians, and Middle Eastern peoples. The
book also engages various theories on gender, religion and
migration and demonstrates the fluidity of gender construction as
people cross borders.
