The rise of Latino Protestants will impact the changing nature of American politics, economics, and religion.

The narrative helps readers move beyond misconceptions about Latino religion and offers a window into the diverse ways that religion plays out in real life. Latino Protestants in America is an essential resource for anyone interested in the beliefs and practices of this group, as well as the implications for its growth and areas for further study.

Religion in Modern New Mexico
This collection of essays, the first attempt to assess the role of religion in modern New Mexico, makes important contributions to religious history and to western history. A pioneering effort in examining the varied religious cultures of the state, these articles also add much to our understanding of twentieth-century western cultural history, a field that many national or regional commentators have previously overlooked.
Macho Men and Modern Women
Claudia Roesch offers a study of Mexican American families and evolving notions of masculinity and motherhood in the context of American family history. The book focuses both on the negotiation of family norms in social expert studies and on measures taken by social workers and civil-rights activists for families. The work fills gaps in research regarding the history of the American family in the 20th century, the history of Mexican Americans, and the history of social sciences. Taking a long-term perspective from the first wave of Mexican mass immigration in the 1910s and 1920s until the new social movements of the 1970s, the study takes into account influences of the Americanization and eugenics movements, modernization theory, psychoanalysis, and the Chicano civil-rights movement. Thus, Claudia Roesch offers important new findings on the nexus between the scientization of social work and changing family values in the age of modernity.
