Los Yarderos: Mexican Yard Workers in Transborder Chicago
Amid the relentless immigration raids in greater Los Angeles in June 2025, the story of Narciso Barranco, a landscaper, stood out. While working, immigration agents beat the landscaper as they arrested him. The case of this undocumented father of three Marines caught the public's attention, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security felt compelled to post online, “If you swing a WEED WACKER at federal agents, run through traffic, and ref…

Negotiating Latinidad: Intralatina/o Lives in Chicago
Migrating Faith: Pentecostalism in the United States and Mexico in the Twentieth Century
Pentecostalism has become an integral part of Latin American society in recent decades. Daniel Ramírez uncovers the roots of that development, which unfolded on both sides of—and across—the Mexican-US border. In the 1920s and 1930s Pentecostals banded together in small communities, sometimes just a handful of extended families. Today Pentecostals account for 64 percent of US Latino Protestants. This engaging study shows how migration, north and s…
Truly In-between People: Situating Latinos in Twentieth-Century Urban History
Fire in the Canyon: Religion, Migration, and the Mexican Dream
El Alberto, a small town in Hidalgo state, has gained renown for its Caminata Nocturna, a staged reenactment of undocumented border crossing into the United States. This blend of ecotourism and agitprop attracts urban tourists and journalists. It also drew Leah Sarat, a scholar of religious studies, to look closely at El Alberto over the past 50 years. This Otomi- (or hñähñu-) speaking community features a distinctive religious landscape: the maj…
The Life Within: Local Indigenous Society in Mexico's Toluca Valley, 1650-1800
Drawing upon a body of 220 Nahuatl-language testaments, Caterina Pizzigoni takes the reader into the indigenous world of late colonial Mexico. The study fits squarely into the language-driven ethnohistorical scholarship pioneered by James Lockhart and Sarah Cline, among others. Pizzigoni makes valuable contributions to Nahuatl studies, especially by advancing research into the eighteenth century. These late colonial testaments contrast greatly wi…
Performing Piety: Making Space Sacred with the Virgin of Guadalupe
This study of contemporary devotion to the Virgin of Guadalupe begins outside of Chicago at a “Second Tepeyac” shrine in Des Plaines, Illinois. By starting far from Juan Diego’s hillock in Mexico, Elaine Peña demands a fundamental rethinking of what it means to be Mexican, Catholic, and pious. She takes a transnational approach to explore the current state of the nearly five-centuries-old Guadalupan devotion. Chapters unfold well beyond church sa…
Revolutions in Mexican Catholicism: Reform and Revelation in Oaxaca, 1887-1934 , by Edward Wright-Rios
Chicana Sexuality and Gender: Cultural Refiguring in Literature, Oral History, and Art , by Debra J. Blake and, Latinos and the U.S. South , by José María Mantero
From Bananas to Buttocks: The Latina Body in Popular Film and Culture
In this eclectic volume, editor Myra Mendible has selected essays that examine Latinas and bodies across international lines. Mendible, like many of the contributors, expresses frustration with the continual stereotyping of the “Latina body” as a single type, one that leads Latina actresses and singers to be cast as “spicy,” sexual, emotional beings. These stereotypes go back generations in U.S. – Latin American relations, perhaps most famously w…
Death and Dying in New Mexico
The deathbed tells us a great deal about life. In Martina Will de Chaparro’s admirable study the deathbed reveals much about change in social relations and definitions of the public and the private. Will’s study begins in 1700, but the book’s core explores how ways of death changed in nineteenth-century New Mexico. Based upon the study of 469 wills (dated 1704 – 1899, one-third dictated by women), this book also utilizes burial registers, prescri…
“Their Hair was Curly”: Afro-Mexicans in Indian Villages, Central Mexico, 1700–1820
Hijas, novias y esposas: Familia, matrimonio y violencia doméstica en el Valle Central de Costa Rica (1750-1850)
Eugenia Rodríguez Sáenz’s premise, that we must reconsider “the representation of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as completely passive creatures subordinate to male authority” (p. 163), is rather basic, given the advances in Latin American gender history in the past two decades. This book purports to focus on women and gender relations in daily life but contributes mainly to the demographic and family history of Costa Rica. In t…
Mexican Chicago
This collection of photographs is simply the best visual history of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the United States. Rita Arias Jirasek and Carlos Tortolero have assembled a rich photographic collection drawn primarily from private family collections dating back to the 1910s and leavened by the work of contemporary professional photographers, especially Antonio Pérez. Mexican Chicago documents the existence and evolution, far north of the bor…
Pueblos de indios y educación en el México colonial, 1750-1821
The persistence of native pueblos and native languages stands as one of the most remarkable outcomes of Mexican history. Dorothy Tanck de Estrada examines a crucial period of challenge to Indian society, the late Bourbon period, when native Mexican communities faced repeated demands to subjugate themselves further to the Spanish Crown. Bourbon policies sought to regularize and control pueblo finances, religious life, and land use. Indians even fo…
