ODGERS ORTIZ, Olga. Migración e (in)tolerancia religiosa: aportes al estudio del impacto de la migración internacional en la percepción de la diversidad religiosa. Estud. front [online]. 2005, vol.6, n.12, pp.39-53. ISSN 2395-9134.

Mexicans migrating to the United Status confront a very different social space which forces them to re-elaborate multiple identity references, among which religious beliefs and practices stand out. A number of studies have shown that among those who migrate, some on occasion turn to practices of popular religiosity in order to create bridges and maintain links with their communities of origin, in other cases, the migratory experience favors the processes of religious conversion. The subject is reopened in this article in order to bring up a third expression of the impact of migration on religious conversion: the transformation of the idea of religious diversity among those who migrate and consequently, the modification of some attitudes of religious tolerance and intolerance.

Keywords : migration; religion; tolerance; identity; cultural diversity.
