Recenzii
Drawing on original ethnographies in the UK, US and Africa, this book immerses readers in a Congolese moral world with which few will be familiar. David Garbin offers an engaging analysis of local religious place-making, complex transnational interconnections and migrants' enduring diasporic commitment to their homeland in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A beautifully crafted and revealing account of religion and lives cast in displacement. This is an important and much needed exploration of the ways in which religious place-making not only reveals the ambivalence of life in diaspora for Congolese migrants but also impacts on the urban landscape of the homeland.
David Garbin writes about Christian plurality, moral ambivalence and social complexity with the utmost clarity and passion. This is a deeply ethnographic yet impressively multi-sited book about the frustrations and ambitions of urban Congolese in their homeland and in diaspora. Garbin provides a truly important contribution to our understandings of intersections between religion, territorialization and scale as he documents the lives of actors working hard to establish presences across Francophone and Anglophone worlds of movement and dwelling.
This book is a creative study of the existing complex religious landscape and its deployment across settings in both diaspora and homeland contexts. The reader will discover how the process of globalization develops while being driven by religious activities and migration networks.
