N2  - "From an examination of nineteenth-century transnational families emigrating from Europe to the Ghanaian Pentecostal diaspora in Europe today, this book combines broadly based analysis with more unusual case studies to reveal the complexities that immigrants and refugees must contend with in their daily lives. What are the experiences of migrant Turkish women living in Germany? In what ways has religion been hybridized amongst West African Muslim migrants in Paris? What are the gender relations and transnational ties amongst Bosnian refugees?" "This book, wide-ranging in its geographical and thematic scope, is a timely addition to debates on transnational families, immigrants and refugees."--BOOK JACKET
