Chicano Catholics have also used their faith to assert their particular identity and establish a kind of cultural citizenship. Based exclusively on original research and sources, Mario T. García here offers the first major historical study to explore the various dimensions of the role of Catholicism in Chicano history in the twentieth century. This is also one of the first significant studies in the still limited field of Chicano religious history. Topics range from how early Chicano Catholic intellectuals and civil rights leaders were influenced by Catholic Social Doctrine, to the role that popular religion has played in the lives of ordinary men and women in both rural and urban areas. García also examines faith-based Chicano community movements like Católicos Por La Raza in the 1960s and the Sanctuary movement in Los Angeles in the 1980s. While Latino/a history and culture has been, for the most part, inextricably linked with the tenets and practices of Catholicism, there has been very little written, until recently, about Chicano Catholic history. García helps to fill that void and explore the impact?both positive and negative?that the Catholic experience has had on the Chicano community. 606 $aMexican American Catholics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$xReligion 606 $aMexican Americans$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMexican American Catholics$xHistory 615 0$aMexican Americans$xReligion. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xHistory 676 $a282/.730896872 700 $aGarci?a$b Mario T$0906108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782870403321 996 $aCato?licos$93790461 997 $aUNINA
