Naomi van der Meer Believers in the Universal Church Processes of self-identification among Catholic immigrants of African descent in the Dutch religious landscape Reihe: Nijmegen Studies in Development and Cultural Change (NICCOS) Bd. 48, 2010, 312 S., 29.90 EUR, br., ISBN 978-3-643-90051-7 Since the late 1980's the major cities in the Netherlands are home to a growing number of Christian congregations, founded in particular by Africans. This study investigates whether, for African Catholics in the Netherlands, religion contributes to their segregation, integration or assimilation. It contains a comparative case study of the experiences, patterns of affiliation, identity discourse, and social relationships encountered among African Catholics in three faith communities: a Dutch, an international, and an African parish respectively. |
