| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, I explore the interrelatedness of individual migration and religious conversion stories, both temporal and permanent. Through two contrastive case studies, I analyze the role of migration in religious diversity among Christians, Muslims, and practitioners of African Religious Traditions in Accra’s urban settings. I illustrate how the life trajectories of Aisha and Solomon provide some critical and insightful perspectives on how migration and urban settings intersect in shaping individual social actors’ lived religious experiences in a multi-religious field and help them navigate between different familial and societal demands, as well as how individuals’ upbringings can impact religious diversity. | en_US |
