"Religion, Migration and Mobility: The Brazilian Experience is a valuable contribution to religion and migration studies. The authors employed multi-disciplinal approaches and varied research methodologies in demonstrating how migration and transnational flows shape Brazil’s contemporary religious landscape." –Vivienne SM. Angeles, La Salle University, USA
"Brazil is one the most religiously diverse countries of the world. Cristina Maria de Castro and Andrew Dawson highlight how Brazil’s religious landscape has been shaped by both transnational flows and domestic dynamics associated with migration. The book is an important contribution that furthers our understanding of the complex processes of religious localization in globalizing societies." –Tuomas Martikainen, Åbo Akademi University, Finland
