Routledge - Transnational Faiths: Latin-American Immigrants

Since the 1990s, Japan has seen a significant rise in immigration from Latin American nations, particularly Brazil and Peru. This influx has changed the social landscape of the country, creating a more multicultural and multi-ethnic society. Transnational Faiths explores how these newcomers influence local faith communities and play a role in community development. This book examines the connection between religious institutions and the settlement process for migrants. It provides a detailed look at how faith helps individuals integrate into a new society while maintaining their cultural roots. For students and researchers of anthropology and sociology, this work offers a deep look into the changing face of modern Japan and the social impact of global migration patterns.
