Robin Cohen et Olivia Sheringham montrent comment des sociétés apprennent à vivre avec la diversité sociale et culturelle. Ils analysent en détail et en profondeur comment les concepts de formation identitaire, de diaspora et de créolisation mettent en lumière les processus et les géographies de la rencontre. S'appuyant sur des recherches menées à travers le monde, y compris des travaux de terrain récemment menés en Louisiane, en Martinique, à Maurice et au Cap-Vert, leur étude est tout autant une description riche qu’une analyse perspicace grâce à laquelle il devient plus facile, entre autres, de comprendre comment les identités émergent, fusionnent et se réinventent. Pour le dire avec Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Président de l'Association européenne des anthropologues sociaux, c'est « l'un de ces rares livres à la fois érudits, éloquents et existentiellement engageants. Les auteurs […] invitent généreusement le lecteur à prendre part à cette conversation, qui est si cruciale pour l'avenir de l'humanité sur notre planète qui rétrécit. »

This book critically interrogates the role of religious faith in the experiences and practices of migrant entrepreneurs against the backdrop of neoliberal Britain. Focussing on Pentecostalism, a popular Christian denomination amongst migrant groups in the UK, the authors draw on primary qualitative data to examine the ways in which Pentecostal beliefs and values influence the aspirations and practices of migrant entrepreneurs. The book also explores the role of Pentecostal churches in supporting entrepreneurial activities among migrant communities, arguing that these institutions simultaneously comply and contest the formation of neoliberal subjectivities: providing cultural legitimacy to the entrepreneurial subject, whilst also contesting the community erosion of neoliberalism, (particularly in an austerity context) and fostering a strong a sense of belonging among congregants. The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective spanning sociology, geography and entrepreneurship studies to explain how values and faith networks shape everyday life, work and entrepreneurial practices. María Villares-Varela is Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Southampton, UK. Olivia Sheringham is Lecturer in Social and Cultural Geography at Birkbeck, University of London, UK.
