Prayer, pop and politics: Researching religious youth in migration society

Abstract

Post-migrant young adults’ religious engagement and the revisited role of religion in Western secular societies have been brought to the forefront of recent academic research in both anthropological and sociological perspectives.

Through a broad spectrum of qualitative research conducted mainly in German-speaking countries, the edited volume Prayer, pop and politics: Researching religious youth in migration society intends to approach such issues at the junction of religion, age and race from both social and political lenses grounded in contemporary (post) ‘migration’ societies.
