This book shows the centrality of religion to the making of the 1910 Mexican revolution. It goes beyond conventional studies of church-state conflict to focus on Catholics as political subjects whose religious identity became a fundamental aspect of citizenship during the first three decades of the twentieth century.
With vivid prose and lyrical language, Curley narrates how Mexican Catholic men and women in early twentieth-century Jalisco tried valiantly to gain a foothold in civil society: forming political parties, founding workers' unions, participating in public pilgrimages, and resisting anticlericalism through religious practice. Curley's incisive analysis generates an invaluable and original portrait of Catholic citizens as truly modern political actors."" - Julia G.
