Made in the Margins: Latina/O Constructions of U.S. Religious History

By Hjamil A. Martínez-Vázquez

Though the writing of US religious history has become increasingly open to new voices, Hjamil A. Mart nez-V zquez argues that those voices have yet to challenge effectively the dominant Eurocentric historical perspective. In this first Latina/o American religious historiography, Mart nez-V zquez critiques the traditional narrative not for what it says, but for what it does not say. Made in the Margins considers the ways in which traditional historiography has favored a specific understanding of US religious history and offers a new method of constructing Latina/o histories as subaltern. And, in so doing, Made in the Margins ably begins the necessary conversation about truly doing history from within previously marginalized communities and disciplines.
