Description
Book SynopsisThis concise book provides readers with a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of the key issues and varied strands of research relating to immigration and religion that have been produced during the past two decades.
Trade Review"Mostly centred on the US, Religion and Immigration offers sobering and clear analysis grounded in solid research on an often impassioned, and ill-informed, debate."
Survival
"This book is an excellent, readable guide to the changing contours of religion, migration, and the relationship between the two. Kivisto's account is thorough, thoughtful, and thought-provoking – a great synthesis of past thinking and a smart roadmap for important directions forward."
Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College and Harvard University
"Grounded in the author's mastery of the history and sociology of immigration, Religion and Immigration is an up-to-date, jargon-free and level-headed overview of key changes in today’s society. Highly recommended for advanced undergraduates and scholars, as well as the citizen who wishes to stay well informed."
R. Stephen Warner, University of Illinois at Chicago
