North America has experienced dramatic changes with the arrival of immigrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America since the 1970s. Some of the most important and often neglected aspects of migration are religious. In this case study of Pentecostal immigrants in Canada, Wilkinson shows how global religious networks transform social relationships and religious organizations while contributing to new translocal identities.
«Michael Wilkinson shows how Pentecostalism in a global context intersects with ethnicity, migration, and transnational networks. Using empirical work among immigrant Pentecostal congregations in Canada, 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, Professor, University of Ottawa; Author of ‘Religion and Globalization’)
