Descripción
Sumario:Examining how encounters produced by migration lead to intimacies - ranging from sexual, spiritual, and neighborly to hateful and violent - the author considers the significant changes that have occurred in small towns following an influx of Latinos to the Midwest. This book situates the story of the Dutch Reformed Church in Iowa and South Africa within a larger analysis of race, religion, and globalization. Drawing on personal narrative, ethnography, and sociopolitical critique, the author shows how migration to rural areas can disrupt even the most thoroughly entrenched religious beliefs and transform the schools, churches, and businesses that form the heart of small-town America.
