Publisher Synopsis
Through intimate portraits of women across three generations, Maria Del Socorro Castaneda-Liles depicts what it means to see family, community, and the sacred through a Mexican Catholic Imagination. Our Lady of Everyday Life powerfully demonstrates how religion works alongside race, class, gender, and sexuality to shape Chicana/Latina women's subjectivity. * Tricia C. Bruce, author of Parish and Place: Making Room for Diversity in the American Catholic Church * Anyone familiar with Latinoa religions will certainly encounter the devotion of so many to La Virgen de Guadalupe. Many other works have centered on Guadalupe herself, but few have studied the devotion among real-life women, and across generations. Castaneda-Liles has authored a very important contribution to religious studies, and to theology as well. This book is thoroughly researched, well argued, clearly written. And it will demand careful study byanyone who would study the Guadalupe devotion, Latina women, and popular religion. * Orlando O. Espin, University Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, University of San Diego * This is the single most important book ever written in the sociology of religion on Mexican American women's popular devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Theoretically and methodologically sophisticated, its rich narratives and powerful stories provide remarkable insights into the spirituality and power of Latina popular Catholicism in the lives of ordinary women on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. A must read! * Gaston Espinosa, Arthur V. Stoughton Professor of Religion, Claremont McKenna College and author of Latino Religions and Civic Activism in the United States * Read more...
