Abstract
Several chapters in this volume examine the expanding institutional power of Latinos in religious organizations, be they in large agencies like the National Catholic Welfare Conference or smaller regional bodies like Latter-day Saints wards in the US Southwest, in matters directly affecting many Latino communities, including issues related to immigration, economic justice, and social integration. Others, however, expand our frame into yet under-explored aspects of Latino religious and political history. We consider, for example, social movements that may not necessarily have acknowledged adherence to any particular faith tradition but that were nonetheless engaged in building power and capacity through religious sites and organizations. In this sense, we define Latino religious politics capaciously, identifying the way Latinos have engaged with systems of political power (often beyond the realm of electoral politics) and social movements that are steeped in faith, but with expressions that varied from the popular and institutional to the nonreligious. In other words, we understand the “religious” in Latino religious politics broadly as both a history of action and a shared culture, a way of understanding how injustice operates and a belief that God is on the side of those who suffer, of those who struggle.
