Recenzje

Jonathan Calvillo's The Saints of Santa Ana is a deeply moving, richly detailed account of life in the most Mexican community in the United States. Calvillo's historical and ethnographic account of the sacred nature of space, belonging, and identity deepens our best understandings of religion and Latinidad. He convincingly asserts that Mexicans (and Mexican-Americans) construct co-ethnic identity through neighborhood institutions embedded in a religious field of competing Catholic and Protestant Latinx theologies. A must-read for any serious scholar of religion, immigration, or Latina/o/x studies.
