Defining Community and Expressing Identity: A Case Study of The Transplantation, Development and Adaption of the Ahmadiyya Jama’at in Kristiansand.

Abstract

The overall aim of this study is to explore and analyze the South Asian Ahmadiyya community who settled in Kristiansand in 1987. The study aims to identify the extent to which changes occur in religious practices and community identity after migration to a new host country. This will include an analysis of the history of the community, the current context, and how new media shapes and reinforces the community’s religious and cultural identities.
