The groundbreaking work in Hispanic theology, relates the story of
the Galilean Jesus to the story of a new mestizo people.
In this work, which marked the arrival of a new era of
Hispanic/Latino theology in the United States, Virgilio Elizondo
described the "Galilee principle": "What human beings reject, God
chooses as his very own". This principle is well understood by
Mexican-Americans, for whom mestizaje -- the mingling of ethnicity,
race, and culture -- is a distinctive feature of their identity. In
the person of Jesus, whose marginalized Galilean identity also
marked him as a mestizo, the Mexican-American struggle for identity
and new life becomes luminous.
