The Homeland Is the Arena: Religion and Senegalese Immigrants in America by Ousm

Description: The Homeland Is the Arena by Ousmane Kane Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Addresses an historically neglected aspect of international migration, analyzing the role played by transnational religion in the adaptation of Senegalese immigrants in America in the late twentieth century. Publisher Description As Senegal prepares to celebrate fifty years of independence from French colonial rule, academic and policy circles are engaged in a vigorous debate about its experience in nation building. An important aspect of this debate is the impact of globalization on Senegal, particularly the massive labor migration that began directly after independence. From Tokyo to Melbourne, from Turin to Buenos Aires, from to Paris to New York, 300,000 Senegalese immigrants aresimultaneously negotiating their integration into their host society and seriously impacting the development of their homeland. This book addresses the modes of organization of transnationalsocieties in the globalized context, and specifically the role of religion in the experience of migrant communities in Western societies. Abundant literature is available on immigrants from Latin America and Asia, but very little on Africans, especially those from French speaking countries in the United States. Ousmane Kane offers a case study of the growing Senegalese community in New York City. By pulling together numerous aspects (religious, ethnic, occupational, gender, generational,socio-economic, and political) of the experience of the Senegalese migrant community into an integrated analysis, linking discussion of both the homeland and host community, this book breaks new ground inthe debate about postcolonial Senegal, Muslim globalization and diaspora studies in the United States. A leading scholar of African Islam, Ousmane Kane has also conducted extensive research in North America, Europe and Africa, which allows him to provide an insightful historical ethnography of the Senegalese transnational experience.
