The book describes the effects on the home communities of the Mixtecs who travel to northern Mexico and the United States in search of wage labor and return having converted from their rural Catholic roots to Evangelical Protestant religions.O'Connor identifies globalization as the root cause of this process. She demonstrates the ways that neoliberal policies have forced Mixtecs to migrate and how migration provides the contexts for conversion. Converts challenge the set of customs governing their Mixtec villages by refusing to participate in the Catholic ceremonies and social gatherings that are at the center of traditional village life. The home communities have responded in a number of ways--ranging from expulsion of converts to partial acceptance and adjustments within the village--depending on the circumstances of conversion and number of converts returning.Presenting data and case studies resulting from O'Connor's ethnographic field research in Oaxaca and various migrant settlements in Mexico and the United States, Mixtec Evangelicals explores this phenomenon of globalization and observes how ancient communities are changed by their own emissaries to the outside world. Students and scholars of anthropology, Latin American studies, and religion will find much in this book to inform their understanding of globalization, modernity, indigeneity, and religious change"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General. 676 $a299.789763 686 $aSOC002000$2bisacsh 700 $aO'Connor$b Mary I$0975068 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148658503321 996 $aMixtec evangelicals$92220224 997 $aUNINA
