Description
Summary:Religion Crossing Boundaries is a 12 chapter edited volume addressing religious transnational practices within continental Africa and its Diaspora during the last 50-year post-independence period of migration. In the introduction, editors James V. Spickard and Afe Adogame situate the complex and dynamic relationship of contemporary transnational movement and religious “locality” (the places, behaviors, world-views, and organizations of religious practice) within the larger context of sociological perspectives on globalization and seven models of religious transnationalism: the Ellis Island model, religious bi-localism, religious cacophony, reverse missions, South-South religious trade, transnational organization theory, and deterritorialized religious identity.
