Latino Religions and Civic Activism in the United States challenges and revises the stereotypes that all Latinos are Roman Catholic and politically passive by demonstrating the critical influence of Latino Catholic, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and other popular, institutional, and civil religious expressions on political, civic, and social action in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It also demonstrates the central importance of religious symbols, rhetoric, ideology, worldviews, and leaders in Latino religions and politics. Book jacket.
