Sumario: | Though the writing of U.S. religious history has become increasingly open to new voices, the author argues that those voices have yet to challenge effectively the dominant Eurocentric historical perspective. In this Latina/o American religious historiography, the author critiques the traditional narrative not for what it says, but for what it does not say. This book considers the ways in which traditional historiography has favored a specific understanding of US religious history and offers a method of constructing Latina/o histories as "subaltern." And, in so doing, this book begins the necessary conversation about truly doing history from within previously marginalized communities and disciplines.
