Description

Students are encouraged to consider how the study of religion in Latin American and Latinx contexts of North America necessarily pushes against fixed boundaries of nation, language, class, race, and culture. The overview chapter provides students with an introductory grounding in the field, paying special attention to origins and key developments. Topics covered in the book include the Bible and Latinx, Latin Catholicism in the United States, Muslims in the Latinx U.S. and Latinx Americas, Catholicism in Mexico, and Brazilian Migrational Christianity in North America. Case studies include Oaxacan Religious Transnationalism, Latinx Religion Nones and Latinx Conversions. The book is illustrated throughout with over 85 images and each chapter contains suggested further reading. A glossary of key terms and concepts is included. The chapters in this book were first published in the digital collection Bloomsbury Religion in North America. Covering North Americas diverse religious traditions, this digital collection provides reliable and peer-reviewed articles and ebooks for students and instructors.
