Open Your Heart: Religion and Cultural Poetics of Greater Mexico - Latino Perspectives
David P. Sandell
In this ethnography of Catholic religious practice in Fresno, California, David P. Sandell unveils ritualized storytelling that Mexican and Mexican American people of faith use to cope with racism and poverty associated with colonial, capitalist, and modern social conditions. Sandell's work shows how people use story and religious ritual to create a space in their lives free from oppression.
