Cone, Briggs Distinguished Professor of Theology, Union Theological Seminary, New York * Finally! A collection of timely, high-quality, variegated, and very readable essays that examine the impact of U.S. Latino/a religions on social and political participation over the past 150 years. A must-read that is predestined to become a classic in its field. * Otto Maduro, Professor of World Christianity and Latin American Christianity, Drew University * I warmly recommend this book as an original scholarly examination of the pervasive influence of religio? * personal, institutional, and cultura? * This excellent book provides the most comprehensive portrait to date of U.S. Latino religions and politics. It challenges previous stereotypes, advances our understanding of the connection between religion and civic activism, and maps out this diverse community and its changing styles of political and civic engagement. Highly recommended! * Wade Clark Roof, Director, Capps Center for the Study of Religion and Public Life, University of California, Santa Barbara * Read more...
