Some of the most important and often neglected aspects of migration are religious.

« Michael Wilkinson shows how Pentecostalism in a global context intersects with ethnicity, migration, and transnational networks. Using empirical work among immigrant Pentecostal congregations in Candada, he demonstrates how these local groups are also global in make-up and orientation. The book is vital reading for anyone interested in how religion contributes to and shapes globalization. -- Peter Beyer
