Bridging the fields of Religion and Latina/o Studies, this book
fills a gap by examining the "spiritual" rhetoric and practices of
the Chicano movement. Bringing new theoretical life to biblical
studies and Chicana/o writings from the 1960s, such as El Plan
Espiritual de Aztlan and El Plan de Santa Barbara, Jacqueline M.
Hidalgo boldly makes the case that peoples, for whom historical
memories of displacement loom large, engage scriptures in order to
make and contest homes. Movement literature drew upon and defied
the scriptural legacies of Revelation, a Christian scriptural text
that also carries a displaced homing dream. Through the
slipperiness of utopian imaginations, these texts become places of
belonging for those whose belonging has otherwise been questioned.
Hidalgo's elegant comparative study articulates as never before how
Aztlan and the new Jerusalem's imaginative power rest in their
ambiguities, their ambivalence, and the significance that people
ascribe to them.
