Religion Across Borders: Transnational Immigrant Networks

To what country do you belong? What is your religion? The answers to these questions are becoming more complicated just as they are being stressed in these times of international tension. This book examines new US immigrant religious communities in connection with the communities they left behind. Ebaugh and Chafetz ask how new and previously studied immigrant groups communicate with their homeland. They ask how remittances flow between communities, how the culture of the US and sending groups affect one another and how these relations change as the new immigrant groups become more settled.
