""Beautifully illustrates the complex intersections of religion and immigration, where even the successful navigation of the dangerous migrant's journey across the U.S. border results not in the American dream, ' but in continued poverty and marginalization. . . . Religion within the context of immigration is not merely one of the things they carry, ' but fundamental to the journey, helping migrants to frame their understanding of suffering, to confront life-and-death, and to define their notions of the possible. Yet Sarat suggests that this understanding alone is not enough, arguing that religion--modern Pentecostalism in particular--helps empower people to look beyond simple religious tropes and issues of individual salvation to join collective efforts that seek to address the roots causes of migration and inequality.""-Virginia Garrard-Burnett, The University of Texas at Austin
