Immigrant Christianities: Religious Migration from Romania to Italy (Religion and Global Migrations)
by Marco GuglielmiOver the past two decades, Romanian immigration to the Italian Peninsula has grown to nearly a quarter of the country&’s foreign population, making it the largest Romanian diaspora in the world. This volume is the first to examine the religious dimension of this vast migratory phenomenon from multiple perspectives, including sociology, anthropology, ethnology, history, and theology.The chapters study the patterns and transformations of Romanian Churches and Christian movements in Italy, with particular attention to the Romanian Orthodox Church, the Romanian Roman Catholic Church, the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church, and the Romanian Pentecostal Church. They also analyze how these immigrant Churches and religious movements engage with Italian society and respond to contemporary challenges.Drawing on the study of the Romanian diaspora and grounded in a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume develops the notion of immigrant Christianities. The latter provides a heuristic framework for highlighting the growing entanglements and transformative dynamics shaping the multiplicity of immigrant Churches and Christian movements in the contemporary world.
Immigrant Entrepreneurship, Religion, and Ethnicity: Cases from Europe, Africa, and Asia (Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship and Small Business)
by Clara Margaça, Andreas Walmsley, and Helena KnörrInternational migration is a growing phenomenon in the 21st century and is increasingly seen as a high-priority public policy issue by many governments, politicians, and the broader public throughout the world. Its importance to economic prosperity, human development, and safety and security ensures that it will remain a top priority for the foreseeable future.This book highlights the importance of ensuring that we remain focused on the successes of migration as well as the challenges. At the end of the 20th century, more importance was given to immigrant and ethnic minority entrepreneurship due to its positive impact on local economic growth and overall economic development in the hosting nations. In the 21st century, the imperative of the United Nations 2030 agenda involves a deeper understanding of the complex challenges for the achievement of sustainable goals. One of these challenges is to understand how migrant-entrepreneurs may or may not identify with their ethnic community, therefore dissociating themselves from their ethnic group. In this sense, religion and ethnicity are differentiating factors between social groups, and the relationships allow preserving their culture and establishing relationships and integration in the community at all levels. This edited volume brings together impactful contributions that will interest multidisciplinary academic areas and aims to contribute to the enhancement of scientific knowledge on the intersection of entrepreneurship, migration, ethnicity, and religion, a gap in the existing literature that has the potential to provide a deeper understanding of factors that influence migrant populations’ contribution to socio-economic development in their communities.This book will be an invaluable resource to researchers and scholars in the fields of immigration, immigrant entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial culture, and economic development.
Immigrant Faith: Patterns of Immigrant Religion in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe
by Phillip ConnorImmigrant 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 thannon-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.
Immigrant Generations, Media Representations, and Audiences
by Omotayo O. BanjoThis anthology examines how immigrants and their US-born children use media to negotiate their American identity and how audiences engage with mediated narratives about the immigrant experience (cultural adjustments, language use, and the like). Where this work diverges from other collections and monographs is the area is its intentional focus on how both first- and second-generation Americans’ complex identities and hybrid cultures interact with mediated narratives in general, alongside the extent to which these narratives reflect their experience. In a three-part structure, the collection examines representations, “zooms in” to explore the reception of these narratives through autoethnographic essays, and concludes in a section of analysis and critique of specific media.
Immigrant Incorporation, Education, and the Boundaries of Belonging
by Stefan LundIn this edited volume, authors analyze how symbolic boundaries of belonging are negotiated and reflected upon by school actors in different educational contexts and how that contributes to a richer understanding of the ways in which "we-ness" acts as a fundamentally structuring force in immigrant incorporation. The analyses draw on cultural sociologist Jeffrey Alexander's work on civil sphere theory, thus grasping both the solidaristic dimensions of incorporation and processes of exclusion. Chapters are guided by two major themes: school choice/ethnic school segregation and religion/faith in schooling. Both of these themes provide rich examples of how immigrant school actors negotiate the symbolic codes that define boundaries of belonging/non-belonging in different communities. This focus will broaden the understanding of how educational practices and formal schooling works in relation to immigrant incorporation into different school cultures, as well as in the Swedish civil sphere.
