Guadalupe in New York: Devotion and the Struggle for Citizenship Rights among Mexican Immigrants
Alyshia Galvez
Every December 12th, thousands of Mexican immigrants gather for the mass at New York City's St Patrick's Cathedral in honour of Our Lady of Guadalupe's feast day. They kiss images of the Virgin, wait for a bishop's blessing - and they also carry signs asking for immigration reform. This book examines this juxtaposition of religion and politics.
