In investigates the link and the tensions between religion and integration from a genderd prespective. By examining the contemporary significance of religion and integration from a genderd prespective. By examining the contemporary significance of religion in the context of global migrations, the fifteen research-bbeased chapters provide new insights and prespectives. They explore the differing ways in wich male and female immigrants find meaning in faiths-beliefs and religious traditions in an attpempt to belong in foreign lands. While religion provides mechanisms for negotiating immigrant life in the host countries, it aleso inhabits the integration of immigrants, especially in countreis where the majority religion is different. This dual phenomenon of promoting religion and inhibiting intergration is critically examined in the lives of Filipinos, Brazilians, Indians, Polish, Mexicans, Vitnamese, Kenyans, Nigerians, and Middle eastern people. The book also engages various theories on gender, religion, and migration and demonstrates the fluidity of gender sonstruction as people cross borders.
