For others - particularly those who have focused on Muslim immigrants in Western Europe - religion tends to be depicted as a source of conflict rather than one of comfort and consolation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a judicious, engaging, and highly readable account, this book sorts through these contrasting viewpoints, pointing to an approach that will assist upper-level students and scholars alike in putting these competing analyses into perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction: Religion on the Move\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Immigrant Identity Work and Religion\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Reframing Religious Organizations and Practices\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Immigrants and Transnational Religious Networks\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Church-State Relations and the Public Sphere\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Epilogue\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407306649880,"sku":"9780745641690","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745641690.jpg?v=1784160506","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/religion-and-immigration-migrant-faiths-in-north-america-and-western-europe-hardback-9780745641690","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
