Revolutions in Mexican Catholicism

""Revolutions in Mexican Catholicism" is original, important, and deeply and creatively researched. A pioneering regional study of church and religion in the early twentieth century, it makes an important contribution to the literature on negotiated modernity in Latin America and to an understanding of the local reworking of Catholicism in Oaxaca in a time of troubles for the church and the Mexican polity. It is a rare achievement."--William Taylor, author of "Magistrates of the Sacred: Priests and Parishoners in Eighteenth-Century Mexico"
