Religion and Mobility in a Globalising Asia - New Ethnographic Explorations

Summary

Taking mobility seriously as an analytical trope, the chapters in this volume ask how mobility is made sense of by Asian people on the move through their religious faiths and how religion is reconstituted by processes and experiences of mobility such as migration and displacement. This book was published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology.
