""Mexican American Religions: An Introduction is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of Mexican American people and how their religious beliefs, traditions, and practices interact with broader cultural, political, and historical themes. An invaluable resource for teachers, students, and general readers alike."" Kristy Nabhan-Warren, University of Iowa, USA. ""Mexican American Religions: An Introduction provides the most comprehensive and accessible treatment of this subject to date. Spanning Indigenous pre-conquest religions to the present, as well as the plurality of religious traditions Mexican Americans practice, it also encompasses insightful thematic chapters that collectively address major issues in the study of these religions."" Timothy Matovina, University of Notre Dame, USA. ""This textbook deftly examines a broad history of Mexican American religions and engages complex racial and ethnic issues with attention to the built environment as well as the politics of knowledge transmission. Moreover, the author’s commitment to revealing how practice fits into different historical periods and political contexts productively expands how we can think about the study of religion.""
