Description

Book Synopsis

Organized around three central themes-family, youth, and community; democratization, citizenship, and political participation; and immigration and transnationalism-this book argues that, at the local level, religion helps people, especially women and youths, solidify their identities and confront the challenges of the modern world.



Trade Review
"The book stands out for the sharpness and freshness of the presentation on transnational groups. Valuable."
