Summary:

"This book delivers a knockout blow to the old notion that Latinos and Latinas are just another immigrant group waiting to be assimilated. Taking as analogy the scriptural episode of Emmaus in which Jesus walked unrecognized alongside his disciples, the authors detail how after nearly a century of unrecognized presence, the nation's more than 25 million Latinos and Latinas began, in 1967, to use religion as a major source of the social and symbolic capital to fortify their identity in American society. Ana Maria Diaz-Stevens and Anthony M. Stevens-Arroyo describe how this Latino Religious Resurgence has created a church-based model of multicultural pluralism that challenges the current trend of U.S. politics."--BOOK JACKET.
