It also revises the ostensibly secular narrative of Latino history and politics. The authors analyze the critical role that institutional, popular, and civil religion have played in Latino activism. This timely book offers readers a new framework by which to understand and to interpret the central importance of religious symbols, rhetoric, ideology, world-views, and leaders to Latino religions and politics over the past 150 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gaston Espinosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.44w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195162288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGastón Espinosa\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Claremont McKenna College and past project manager of the Hispanic Churches in American Public Life research project. \u003cstrong\u003eVirgilio Elizondo\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Notre Dame, co-principal investigator of the\u003cbr\u003eHispanic Churches in American Public Life research project, and co-founder of the Mexican American Cultural Center in San Antonio, Texas. \u003cstrong\u003eJesse Miranda\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Urban Studies and Ethnic Leadership at Vanguard University, co-principal investigator of\u003cbr\u003ethe Hispanic Churches in American Public Life research project, and founder and president of the \u003cem\u003eAlianza de Ministerios Evangélicos Nacionales\u003c\/em\u003e (AMEN).\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":39930740834419,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_00a3bc94-c68f-4569-a29a-f7d12beb7d39.jpg?v=1647698691","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/latino-religions-and-civic-activism-in-the-united-states-9780195162288","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
