商品簡介
The volume emerged from a number of large and small gatherings in which scholars involved with issues of urban change and religion discussed ethnographic perspectives on how religious life and urban changes are mutually and concurrently shaped in the age of globalization, transnational migration, religious revitalization, and secularization. The themes are religious innovations in urban contexts; urban dynamics of migration, religious diversity, and transnational religion; and religion, economic inequalities, and social exclusion.
