Illuminates how religion has shaped Latino politics and community
building Too often religious politics are considered peripheral to
social movements, not central to them. Faith and Power: Latino
Religious Politics Since 1945 seeks to correct this
misinterpretation, focusing on the post-World War II era. It shows
that the religious politics of this period were central to secular
community-building and resistance efforts. The volume traces the
interplay between Latino religions and a variety of pivotal
movements, from the farm worker movement to the sanctuary movement,
offering breadth and nuance to this history. This illuminates how
broader currents involving immigration, refugee policies,
de-industrialization, the rise of the religious left and right, and
the Chicana/o, immigrant, and Puerto Rican civil rights movements
helped to give rise to political engagement among Latino religious
actors. By addressing both the influence of these larger trends on
religious movements and how the religious movements in turn helped
to shape larger political currents, the volume offers a compelling
look at the twentieth-century struggle for justice.
