Conclusion

Abstract

The point of departure of this book was the heuristic question whether migrants, and especially migrants with only few resources at their disposal, can draw on their religion as a resource for their political involvement. The underlying question, of course, was then whether religion could contribute to a positive shared identity and to the mobilisation or other forms of participation of migrants. Thus, the present study also aimed at contributing to our understanding of religion as a resource for marginalised communities more generally.
