Summary:

In Reliving Golgotha, Trexler offers valuable insights into the political, social, and psychological meanings of religious spectacle through an exploration of the annual passion play at Iztapalapa, the largest and poorest borough of Mexico City. In doing so, he illuminates the strong cultural forces that have helped provide a voice for some of Mexican society's most powerless members.
