One of two book projects to come out of the Hispanic Churches in
America Public Life project (HCAPL), this project seeks to examine
the impact of religion on political and civic engagement in the
Latino community. This volume presents sixteen new essays
addressing important issues, personalities, and movements in Latino
religions in America. The authors' purpose is to overthrow the
longstanding stereotype that Latinos are politically passive and
that their churches have supported the status quo, failing to
engage in or support the struggle for civil rights and social
justice. Individual essays explore such varied topics as "The
Mysticism and Social Action of Cesar Chavez," "The Challenges of
Being Latina, Catholic, and Feminist," "Hispanic Churches in
Faith-Based Community Organizing," and "The Mexican American
Cultural Center and the Politics of Cultural Empowerment."
