Brown -- "Bahala Na Ang Diyos" : the paradox of empowerment among Filipino Catholic migrants in South Korea / Bubbles Beverly Neo Asor -- Feeling Hindu : the devotional Sivaist esthetic matrix and the creation of a diasporic Hinduism in North Sumatra / Silvia Vignato -- What makes Aian migrants' religious experience Asian? Janet Alison Hoskins.
Typically, scholars approach migrants' religions as a safeguard of cultural identity, something that connects migrants to their communities of origin. This ethnographic anthology challenges that position by reframing the religious experiences of migrants as a transformative force capable of refashioning narratives of displacement into journeys of spiritual awakening and missionary calling. These essays explore migrants' motivations in support of an argument that to travel inspires a search for new meaning in religion.
