AB  - -- Benjamin Ortiz, In These Times.
AB  - Latinos recently surpassed African Americans as the largest U.S. minority. Of the approximately 37 million Latinos living in the United States, nearly 5 million declare themselves to be either Pentecostal or Charismatic, and more convert every day. Latino Pentecostal Identity examines the rise of Pentecostalism among Latinos and their conversion from other denominations, the difficulties involved in reconciling conflicts of ethnic and religious identity, how evangelical groups encourage the severing of ethnic ties in favor of spiritual community, and the ambivalence Latinos face when their faith fails to protect them from racial discrimination. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork, surveys, and personal interviews, the book also considers issues such as the com-modification of Latino evangelical culture, the Latinization of Pentecostalism, and the ways in which Latino Pentecostals have differentiated themselves from the larger Latino Catholic culture.
