Beskrivelse
Mobile Bodies, Mobile Souls delves into the intricate ties between family, religion, and migration. It shifts focus from the public and political aspects of religion in migrant communities to the intimate, everyday experiences within homes and families.
Exploring how religious beliefs and practices shape migrants' lives from within their private and family spheres.
This collection of ethnographic studies from around the globe examines how migrants use religion to navigate and negotiate moral and social orders in their daily lives. Instead of concentrating on broader societal or political angles, the book starts 'from below,' highlighting how religious ideas are formed, challenged, and adapted within households and family settings.
The research reveals that religious practices and imaginations serve a dual purpose: they help migrants engage with new social environments while also maintaining connections with the people and places they have left behind. By offering a comparative look at how religious customs and concepts of relatedness intertwine, the book provides fresh insights into a contemporary world defined by mobile bodies and souls.
