About the book

The first study of the religious life of African immigrants in Ireland. Based on original research, Abel Ugba makes a significant contribution to the understanding of Africans in Europe. For more than a century, Ireland was a source of emigrants to other parts of the world - now it has become an attractive destination for immigrants. Arguably the most prominent consequence of increased numbers of Africans living in Ireland is the formation of organisations such as the Pentecostal churches led by sub-Saharan Africans. Ugba examines the history and nature of this church.
