Church in the Barrio Mexican American Ethno-Catholicism in Houston

In a story that spans from the early 20th century to the 1970s, Trevino discusses how an intertwining of ethnic identity and Catholic faith equipped Mexican Americans in Houston to overcome adversity and find a place for themselves in the Bayou City. He explores Mexican American Catholic life from the most private and mundane, such as home altar worship and everyday speech and behavior, to the most public and dramatic, such as neighborhood processions and civil rights protest marches.Treviño, Roberto R. is the author of 'Church in the Barrio Mexican American Ethno-Catholicism in Houston', published 2006 under ISBN 9780807856673 and ISBN 0807856673.
