Summary:

Organised by various themes with the study of US Latina/x/o Christianities, this handbook provides a thorough examination of interlocking themes within the academic study of Latina/x/o Christian histories, sociologies, and anthropologies. These chapters, taken individually and collectively, pay attention to both the diachronic (over time, historical) as well as the synchronic (contemporary). Moreover, the chapters cover the major US Latina/x/o ethnic groups as well as major Christian denominations and movements. Finally, chapters in the handbook attend to important intersectional realities that include empire, migration, diaspora, hybridities, borderlands, and gender.
