"Somebody erased your precious recording. Your tenants rolled your beautiful boulders into the lake. You're suddenly unemployed, too old for retraining, too young for seniors' assistance. Nobody invited you to the paradigm shift. After decades of toil you realize you'll never learn that second language. A high rise is going to block your view of the river. Your Robin Hood scheme to aid the dispossessed is about to collapse. The flood in the basement isn't water alone. In nine memorable new stories and with tragicomic flair, acclaimed master of the short form Richard Cumyn dramatizes lives in tumult and transition. If the sign for migrant soul is an enigma, this remarkably upbeat and innovative collection is anything but."--

A new book by the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer about the twenty-first-century Latino experience and identity. In Our Migrant Souls, the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Héctor Tobar delivers a definitive and personal exploration of what it means to be Latino in the United States right now. “Latino” is the most open-ended and loosely defined of the major race categories in the United States, and also one of the most rapidly growing. Composed as a direct address to the young people who identify or have been classified as “Latino,” Our Migrant Souls is the first account of the historical and social forces that define Latino identity. Taking on the impacts of colonialism, public policy, immigration, media, and pop culture, Our Migrant Souls decodes the meaning of “Latino” as a racial and ethnic identity in the modern United States, and gives voice to the anger and the hopes of young Latino people who have seen Latinidad transformed into hateful tropes and who have faced insult and division—a story as old as this country itself. Tobar translates his experience as not only a journalist and novelist but also a mentor, a leader, and an educator. He interweaves his own story, and that of his parents’ migration to the United States from Guatemala, into his account of his journey across the country to uncover something expansive, inspiring, true, and alive about the meaning of “Latino” in the twenty-first century.

A man of African and Native American ancestry would seem an unlikely candidate for conversion to Judaism ? especially for becoming an observant Orthodox Jew. And Abel Gomes wouldn't ever have struck anyone as a radical or unpredictable person. On the contrary, he has always been thoughtful, calm, intelligent and focused, not someone given to rash decisions or susceptible to mystical compulsions. Abel's determination to become a Jew emerged slowly, nurtured by a relentless logic that led him to regard his Catholic upbringing with intellectual discomfort ? and by his marriage to a Jewish woman, although one not at all interested, at least at the time, in exploring her own religious heritage. Ariella, who had been raised by secular parents, was entirely comfortable with being Jewish only in a cultural sense, and, as her marriage to a non-Jew testified, felt unconstrained by religious rules. In fact, her husband's growing interest in her ancestral heritage only irked her at first. If Abe's ethnic roots were an unlikely impetus for him to explore Judaism, Ariella's self-identity as a ?cultural? Jew added to the unlikelihood that the couple would one day become committed Orthodox Jews. But the unlikely sometimes comes to pass, and the story of the young couple's journey to Orthodox Judaism is recounted in Migrant Soul: The Story of an American Convert. Abel's interest in Judaism led Ariella to first humor him and eventually join him on his quest to go from affiliation with an Indian tribe to membership in the Jewish one. The couple's journey led them to Reform and Conservative Jewish communities, and finally, to the Orthodox one. Abel and Ariella quickly came to realize that Reform Jewish theology has redefined Judaism to the point where it has more in common with American political and social liberalism than with the foundational tenets and practices of Jews through the centuries. That was not what they were searching for. And so, with Orthodoxy as far from their minds as Buddhism, the two seekers gravitated to the Conservative movement, which claimed fealty to the Jewish past even as it embraced the vibrant cultural and intellectual present. With time, though, they became disappointed by that segment, too, of the contemporary Jewish world. It seemed to offer more lip service than true dedication to Jewish ideas and practices, and differed from the Reform community more in quantity of Jewish practices than in quality of fealty to traditional Judaism. Moreover, despite Abel's Conservative conversion and the welcome he received from Conservative Jews, he found that his unusual background did not insulate him from being regarded by Conservative Jews, despite their progressive stances in other realms, as an outsider. Even as they became active members of a Conservative congregation, Abel and Ariella began to interact with members of the Orthodox community in the city where they lived. And those interactions, recounted in Migrant Soul, empowered by the couple's increasing realization that conversion to Judaism was more than a ceremony ? that becoming a Jew meant becoming a Jew, an actual part of the Jewish people ? led to Abel's decision to undergo a conversion that met the strict standards of halacha, or Jewish religious law. Neither the process leading to that point, nor the conversion rite, nor its aftermath were easy. But Abel and Ariella were determined, and succeeded in becoming not only fully observant of Jewish religious law, and not only active and essential parts of an Orthodox community, but inspirations for countless Jews ? both those who know them personally and those who became acquainted with them ?at a distance, ? through the pages of Migrant Soul.

The author of the work derives the origins of what we know as a swastika symbol from the earliest cultures. He studies its origins in the ancient shapes of a cross and brings the comparison of different types of cross symbols, which later evolved in the swastika. Further, the author examines the role of the swastika in the extreme Orient (Japan, Korea, China, and Tibet), the classical Orient (Babylonia, Assyria, Chaldea, and Persia, Phenicia, Lycaonia, Armenia, Caucasus, and Asia Minor - including Troy and mentioning Schliemann), Africa (Egypt, Algeria, Ashantee), classical Occident (Mediterranean - Greece, Cyprus, Rhodes, Milos, and Thera), Europe (the Bronze Age, the Gallo-Roman period, the Anglo-Saxon period, and the swastika on ancient coins), the United States of America (in pre-Columbian times, among the North American Indians, and a "colonial patchwork"), Central America (Nicaragua, Yucatan, and Costa Rica), and South America (Brazil and Paraguay). He shows various artifacts associated with the swastika, including spindle-whorls, coins, vases, and idols. The author also notes the importance of this symbol among both the ancient Buddhists and Hindus. It is generally a very deep and interesting study showing the universalism of the swastika symbol in different cultures of the world.

This book is the first to analyze the impacts of migration and transnationalism on global Catholicism. It explores how migration and transnationalism are producing diverse spaces and encounters that are moulding the Roman Catholic Church as institution and parish, pilgrimage and network, community and people. Bringing together established and emerging scholars of sociology, anthropology, geography, history and theology, it examines migrants’ religious transnationalism, but equally the effects of migration-related-diversity on non-migrant Catholics and the Church itself. This timely edited collection is organised around a series of theoretical frameworks for understanding the intersections of migration and Catholicism, with case studies from 17 different countries and contexts. The extent to which migrants’ religiosity transforms Catholicism, and the negotiations of unity in diversity within the Roman Catholic Church, are key themes throughout. This innovative approach will appeal to scholars of migration, transnationalism, religion, theology, and diversity.

Mobile Bodies, Mobile Souls engages the complex relationship between family, religion and migration. Following '9/11', much research on migrants in western societies has focused on the public and political dimensions of religion. This volume starts out 'from below', exploring how religious ideas and practices take form, are negotiated and contested within the private domain of the home, household and family. Bringing together ethnographic studies from different parts of the world, it explores the role of religious ideas and practices in migrants' efforts to sustain, create and contest moral and social orders in the context of their everyday life. The ethnographic analyses show how religious practices and imaginaries both enable engagement with new social settings and offer a means of connecting and reconnecting with people and places left behind. Offering a comparative perspective on the varying ways in which religious practices and notions of relatedness interconnect and shape each other, the book sheds new light on a comtemporary global world inhabited by mobile bodies and souls.
