Profane & Sacred : Latino/a American Writers Reveal the Interplay of the Secular and the Religious Paperback / softback
by Bridget Kevane
Part of the Celebrating Faith: Explorations in Latino Spirituality and Theology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Profane & Sacred examines religious discourse in contemporary Latino/a fiction, exploring how religion creates, mediates or changes Latino culture and identity.
Much contemporary literary criticism on Latino/a literature has focused on the bilingual and bicultural nature of Latino identity, history and cultural production.
But just as the multiplicity of cultures and languages has shaped Latino identity and history, so too has religion.
Studying the religious discourse found in fiction can clearly enrich not only our perception of the diversity within the Hispanic communities, but also the diversity between sociologists and creative writers.
