| Summary: | Following activists who transcend discursive and frustratingly material borders, Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo details the place of religion in contemporary struggles for immigrant rights in the United States. This book exemplifies the engaging narrative style that marks the author's previous works. Using cases studies of activists in three regional rights-based networks, the author aims to show the role of religion in each of these struggles. Her approach to religion falls within the broad stream of religion “as a tool kit that can be utilized to build different projects” (19). Religion variously motivates action, justifies styles of action, provides resources, cements a cultural bond, and facilitates identity work. |
