In this masterful ethnography, María Del Socorro Castañeda-Liles considers three generations of Mexican-origin women between the ages of 18 and 82. She\u003cbr\u003eexamines the Catholic beliefs the women inherited from their mothers and how these beliefs become the template from which they first learn to see themselves as people of faith. She also offers a comprehensive analysis of how Catholicism creates a culture in which Mexican-origin women learn how to be\u003cbr\u003egood girls in a manner that reduces their agency to rubble. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the nexus of faith and lived experience, these women develop a type of Mexican Catholic imagination that helps them challenge the sanctification of shame, guilt, and \u003cem\u003eaguante \u003c\/em\u003e(endurance at all cost). This imagination allows these women to transgress strict notions of what a good Catholic\u003cbr\u003ewoman should be while retaining life-giving aspects of Catholicism. This transgression is most visible in their relationship to \u003cem\u003eLa Virgen\u003c\/em\u003e, which is a fluid and deeply engaged process of self-awareness in everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e María del Socorro Castañeda-Liles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190280406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaría Del Socorro Castañeda-Liles\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Santa Clara University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39929199820915,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f19204ae-e0e1-4981-9ed3-c3b9356482e6.jpg?v=1647611081","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/our-lady-of-everyday-life-la-virgen-de-guadalupe-and-the-catholic-imagination-of-mexican-women-in-america-9780190280406","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
