Religiosidad entre migrantes latinoamericanos en la producción de bienestar: Intensificaciones, transformaciones y porosidades

ABSTRACT The literature on the relationship between religion and migration has focused on how religion plays a key role in migrant adaptation processes. In this article, I focus on the importance of religious and spiritual practices for Latin American migrants seeking asylum in the United States before and during their journeys, as well as in the context of their entrapment in the city of Tijuana. To do so, and to show the complexity with which religiosity is expressed, I analyze cases in which people engage in practices that violate the boundaries between religious confessions and spiritualities. Given the difficult circumstances that push them to leave their homes and the adversities they encounter on their journeys, migrants frequently engage in practices to experience and produce well‐being. On the other hand, religiosity in the migratory context intensifies, transforms, and becomes porous.
