Made in the Margins

Though the writing of US religious history has become increasingly open to new voices, Hjamil A Martinez-Vazquez argues that those voices have yet to challenge effectively the dominant Eurocentric historical perspective. In this first Latina/o American religious historiography, Martinez-Vazquez critiques the traditional narrative not for what it says, but for what it does not say. 'Made in the Margins' considers the ways in which traditional historiography has favoured a specific understanding of US religious history and offers a new method of constructing Latina/o histories as "subaltern". And, in so doing, 'Made in the Margins' ably begins the necessary conversation about truly doing history from within previously marginalised communities and disciplines.
