In the tapestry of American Catholicism, the experiences and contributions of Latina women have often been overlooked or marginalized. Their unique identities, shaped by the intersection of race, culture, and faith, have not been fully acknowledged or understood. But in her groundbreaking book, Remapping Race, Culture, and Faith in Latina Catholicism, Dr. Xiomara Santacruz sheds light on this hidden history, revealing the profound impact that Latina women have had on the church and society.
Drawing on extensive research and personal narratives, Dr. Santacruz explores the complex and often contradictory ways in which Latina women have navigated the boundaries of race, culture, and faith. She examines the ways in which they have been both marginalized and empowered within the church, and how they have used their faith as a source of strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
Through the lens of liberation theology, Dr. Santacruz argues that Latina women's experiences of oppression and liberation have shaped their understanding of God and their role in the church. She shows how they have used their faith to challenge racism, sexism, and other forms of injustice, and to advocate for the rights of the poor and marginalized.
Remapping Race, Culture, and Faith in Latina Catholicism is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the history, culture, and spirituality of Latina women in the United States. It is also a powerful testament to the resilience and strength of women who have fought for their place in the church and society.
