| Summary: | God Needs No Passport extends the author's fruitful line of inquiry begun in the “God Is Everywhere” chapter of her 2001 book, The Transnational Villagers. The strength of this latest offering is that “it brings religion to the fore … [and] shows how the globalization of the sacred actually gets done” (202). Like multinational corporations and international political actors, “Religious communities are also structured and operating across borders” (134). The book examines the transnational religious networks of Brazilian, Gujarati Indian, Pakistani, and Irish immigrants to New England., The author pursues both descriptive and normative agendas in this book. |
