Migrant Community
This essay addresses Mexican villagers who sustain community amid social dissolution that accompanies poverty and U.S.-bound migration. Villagers manage signs in behavior and discourse to foreground feeling and thought of pastoral life and create emotional and intellectual detachment from the effects of a modern one. This management shows how people mitigate contradiction to produce a context that supports how they feel and think collectively. Na…
Mexican Pilgrimage, Migration, and Discovery of the Sacred
This article explores an analogical relationship between Mexican pilgrimage and migration to the United States. Toward this end, the article acknowledges pilgrimage scholarship that treats one of two, presumably mutually, exclusive objectives: (1) The formation of a social body, unstructured and free, and (2) fulfillment of individual motivations and institutional agendas. Pilgrims involved in migration undertake both objectives to reconcile diff…
Where Mourning Takes Them
This article addresses mourning for a Mexican migrant who died in the Arizona desert in March or April 2005. Mourning, family members and acquaintances indicate, is an indefinite process revealed through figurative representations: metaphor and metonym. Mourning as metaphor associates an actual death with instances of loss that occur in other semantic domains-the household, motherhood, and gender constructions. As a metonym, mourning stands for t…
Poetics, Politics, and the Life of Latino Catholics in California
This essay explores poetics and politics among Latino Catholics in Fresno, California, who draw on a tradition of storytelling and religious ritual to mitigate the hardships that result from their marginal social assignment. Storytelling and ritual allow them to recognize where faith and daily life intersect, exposing the tensions-including those caused by poverty, violence, and isolation-that separate one person from another. This combination of…
Ritual, Stories, and the Poetics of a Journey Home Among Latino Catholics
This essay centers on a storyteller's performance of ritual in stories to draw associations between the life of the Biblical Mary with her son Jesus and the subjectivities and dispositions of people living in impoverished conditions. The storyteller explores these subjectivities and dispositions, characterizing the exploration as a journey. She also defines an ethical position where the self meets otherness-both sacred and cultural-to engender po…
John Rollin Ridge's Joaquín Murieta and the Legacy of the Mexican American Frontier
This essay addresses colonial history, the underlying dynumics of nineteenth-century Mexican and United States political relations, and John Rollin Ridge's biography to articulate Mexican and American frontier mythologies. These mythologies shnped California's social context of the early 1850s, Ridge's representation ofJoquín Murieta, and Jouquín's impression. His impression, which combines self-reliance, enterprise, heroism, and villainy, has re…
