Homelands and migration

Chapter 2 in Religious-Spiritual Diversity in Organisations, 2024, pp 23-40 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Homelands and migration, we look at migrations, an ongoing and increasing factor in creating diversity in human society and one often driven by leaders, forcefully imposing their religion on the population. Noting migration not only changed the migrants but also the population receiving country, we look at situations where assimilation was extensive and other situations where strict separations were maintained, why that happened and what resulted. We observe some negative religious impacts that are transported with people across geographies and how the forced religious views of the colonisers often result in anti-colonial backlash, sometimes expressed within the business, by employees. We list some of the ways in which people use religious symbols to maintain cultural identity as they migrate and how misunderstood religious symbols both encourage positive action to learn and understand, and sometimes more negative reactions.
