I selected twelve themes because of their importance to the Chicano community. These themes deal with Chicano liberation. One cannot speak about liberation. One cannot speak about liberation without mentioning these social political, economic, psychological and religious issues, nor without mentioning these symbols. - Machismo y La Mujer - Racism-Classism - Education and Labor - Violence and Nonviolence - Respect for the rights of others is peace (Benito Ju‡rez) - The Land - Fatalistic and Anarchistic Tendencies - The Catholic Church - Theology - The Symbol of Exodus - The Religious-Spiritual Symbol of Guadalupe - The Secular-Spiritual Symbol of La Raza C—smica - from the book

The past decade has seen a renewed interest in ethnicity by people in search of their own identities, as well as by writers and scholars from every discipline. But despite the contagion of ethnic aEURO fever,aEURO the Chicano culture is neither widely known nor appreciated in the United States. The authors of this book attempt to close the gap in current knowledge. Their purpose is fourfold: (1) to add to the knowledge of Chicano communities; (2) to add to the knowledge and understanding of how Mexican Americans have adapted in various urban areas; (3) to present descriptions and analyses of communities in the Midwest, where the presence of Mexican Americans has been more typically neglected; and (4) to bring an anthropological approach to the understanding of this second-largest minority group in the United States.

Since its arrival in the United States from central Mexico in the mid 1970s, the indigenous ritual cycle of dance known as La Danza Azteca (the Azteca dance) has had profound impact on the self-identification, resiliency, and concept of sacred space of the Mexican-American, Chicano, and other Latino communities. Using the Nahuatl term “Mexcoehuani” to identify these communities as one multi-faceted membership group, this study through an online survey, auto-historia narrative, and an auto-ethnography has studied the impact of La Danza Azteca on its practitioners. The data collected in this research shows that La Danza Azteca tradition, known to its Mexican practitioners as the “rituals of kindness” has roots deeply imbedded in the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. The arrival of the Spanish invaders in 1519 added a new tradition of Christianity to the old indigenous traditions. This lead to the creation of “Indocristiano” a new syncretic paradigm of resistance, resiliency, and evolution in religion, art, and dance. Through over 400 years of history, La Danza Azteca has given its practitioners in Mexico a system of membership, survival, and continuity with their indigenous identity. The arrival of La Danza Azteca in the U.S. gave the Mexcoehuani community a new paradigm of identity, space, and spirituality. At first mixing in the non-Mexican traditions of the U.S. American Indian nations, the Mexcoehuani have had 36 years to learn the traditions of Mexico. The process of integrating themselves into the Mexican dance tradition, while still developing their own resiliency and self-determination, has been one of La Danza Azteca's key features in the U.S. The rituals of kindness of La Danza Azteca have given the Mexcoehuani communities of the U.S., a third space within the identities of the United States and Mexico, of identity, membership, and self-determination. The Mexcoehuani communities call this space “Aztlan.” Aztlan has no physical space; wherever there are Mexcoehuani, Aztlan is present.

Horizons of the Sacred explores the distinctive worldview underlying the faith and lived religion of Catholics of Mexican descent living in the United States. Religious practices, including devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebration of the Day of the Dead, the healing tradition of curanderismo, and Good Friday devotions such as the Way of the Cross (Via Crucis), reflect the increasing influence of Mexican traditions in U.S. Catholicism, especially since Mexicans and Mexican Americans are a growing group in most Roman Catholic congregations.In their introduction, Timothy Matovina and Gary Riebe-Estrella analyze the ways Mexican rituals and beliefs pose significant challenges and opportunities for Catholicism in the United States. Original essays by theologians, historians, and ethnographers provide a rich interdisciplinary dialogue on how religious traditions function for Mexican American Catholics, revealing the symbolic world at the heart of their spirituality. The authors speak to the diverse meanings behind these ceremonies, explaining that Mexican American (and other Latino) Catholics use them to express not only religious devotion, but also ethnic identity and patriotism, solidarity, and, in some cases, their condition as exiles. The result is a multilayered vision of Mexican American religion, which touches as well on issues of racism and discrimination, poverty, and the role of women.

In Sacred Song in America, Stephen A. Marini explores the full range of American sacred music and demonstrates how an understanding of the meanings and functions of this musical expression can contribute to a greater understanding of religious culture.Marini examines the role of sacred song across the United States, from the musical traditions of Native Americans and the Hispanic peoples of the Southwest, to the Sacred Harp singers of the rural South and the Jewish music revival to the music of the Mormon, Catholic, and Black churches. Including chapters on New Age and Neo-Pagan music, gospel music, and hymnals as well as interviews with iconic composers of religious music, Sacred Song in America pursues a historical, musicological, and theoretical inquiry into the complex roles of ritual music in the public religious culture of contemporary America.

This “important and well-researched” study of 1960s urban Latino activism and religion is “brimming with the ideas and voices of . . . Latinx activists” (Llana Barber, author of Latino City). In the late 1960s, American cities found themselves in steep decline, with poor and working-class families hit the hardest. Many urban religious institutions debated whether to move to the suburbs. Against the backdrop of the Black and Brown Power movements, which challenged economic inequality and white supremacy, young Latino radicals began occupying churches and disrupting services to compel church communities to join their protests against urban renewal, poverty, police brutality, and racism. Apostles of Change tells the story of these occupations and establishes their context within the urban crisis. It underscores the tensions they created and the activists’ bold, new vision for the church and the world. Through case studies from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Houston, Felipe Hinojosa reveals how Latino freedom movements crossed the boundaries of faith and politics. He argues that understanding these radical politics is essential to understanding the dynamic changes in Latino religious groups from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.
