Asian Catholicism and the Remaking of Contemporary Families

Asian Catholicism and the Remaking of Contemporary Families, the first volume in the Contemporary Asian Catholics Series, examines the complex intersection of faith and domestic life. Michel Chambon explores how Asian Catholics navigate ethical ideals and normative religious discourses to shape their family structures. This scholarly work investigates how devotional practices influence the way individuals construct and reconstruct their understandings of kinship within modern society.

As a significant contribution to the sociology of religion and anthropology, this book provides deep insights into the lived experiences of Catholic communities. It serves as a vital resource for those studying ethnic studies, Asian studies, and cultural sociology. By analyzing the tension between religious tradition and contemporary social shifts, this volume offers a detailed look at how religion functions as a tool for identity and family formation in the Asian context.
