Abstract
This chapter addresses the intersection of religion, migration, gender, and sexuality as an important way to visibilize their impact upon immigrants’ lives. It highlights two aspects: (a) how religious practices become a source of strength for immigrants; and (b) it also reveals the extent to which immigrants’ experiences vary according to their gender, sexual orientation, and displayed gender identity. Taking into account the experiences of heterosexual and queer immigrants, the analysis focuses on the way that dynamics of displacement impact both females and males. The chapter concludes that the intertwining of migration with religion, gender, and sexuality emphasizes spaces of resistance, (re)negotiation, and (re)construction in the experience of transnational immigrants that allows for furthering strategies of identity formation amidst host societies.
