Routledge - Religion and Mobility in a Globalising Asia Book

Explore the connection between faith and movement in this Routledge publication. Religion and Mobility in a Globalising Asia: New Ethnographic Explorations examines how religion and mobility influence each other during the era of Asian globalisation. As people move due to global market economies or regional political strife, this volume provides insight into both voluntary and forced displacement. Through seven case studies, readers gain ethnographic perspectives on the translocal and transnational dimensions of religion. The research covers a wide range of spiritual practices, including Buddhism, Islam, Chinese qigong, Christianity, and communal ritual. This book is an essential resource for those studying the spiritual aspects of human movement in the contemporary world.
