Opis

Our Lady of Everyday Life is an ethnographic study of three generations of Mexican origin women (college students, mothers, and older women) and their experiences growing up Catholic. The book focuses on their relationship with Our Lady of Guadalupe as central to what Castaneda-Liles calls their "Mexican Catholic imagination."

Recenzje

Through intimate portraits of women across three generations, María Del Socorro Castañeda-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.
