Est creciendo el inter s, la conciencia y la demanda por el conocimiento de que la justicia social es algo que sale de la fe cristiana. Pero esto no es algo nuevo.Por quinientos a os la cultura e identidad latina han sido moldeadas por sus desaf os al statu quo religioso, socioecon mico y pol tico, ya sea en oposici n al colonialismo espa ol, las dictaduras latinoamericanas, el imperialismo estadounidense en Centro Am rica, la opresi n de los trabajadores de campo o la explotaci n actual de inmigrantes indocumentados.

Al recorrer esta historia de activismo y fe, lectores descubrir n que los cristianos latinos tienen un coraz n conforme al de Dios.

Explores the power of faith to drive resistance to anti-immigration policies in the United States God's Resistance chronicles the work of faith-based activists who have mobilized to counter the effects of mass detention and deportation. Focusing on Southern California, home to a large undocumented population, the authors examine which strategies have been most effective, as well as the obstacles that faith presents to organizing effectively. In-depth interviews with over forty activists, leaders of congregations, lay participants, and immigrants allow us to hear at first hand the challenges and occasional triumphs of this work. The authors show how faith-based organizations have a distinctive set of advantages to leverage in social movements that are often overlooked and underappreciated by secular activist organizations, but they also face particular challenges that can hinder their effectiveness. The volume offers insights into how these advantages can be maximized, and how the obstacles can be overcome. The powerful testimony from asylum seekers and detained immigrants found in these pages, along with the concrete examples of effective strategies, are indispensable for anyone invested in the fight to recognize the humanity of one of the nation's most vulnerable populations.

Race is a result of God's design and not of sin. God loves diversity and sought it. Race biases are normal and come as a result of likes and dislikes; love of "the other" is to be learned. In this book, Bible stories and principles are combined with four intercultural communication skills to help develop love of the other. This book builds on what Sherwood Lingenfelter and Marvin K. Mayers developed for understanding cultural values and diversity of likes and dislikes. Those differences are normal. The problem comes from excluding the other. This book explores a step-wise approach to developing the love of the other. How the person, the leader, and the church see diversity defines the church's outreach, mission, and gospel fulfillment. Author's Own Words Book Description The Power of Love book explains how emotions and feelings were part of God's creation design from before sin entered this world. While departing from cognitive neuropsychology and the latest learning from science this seminar furthers the idea that race relations are not to be understood by sociology and science but by Bible and Christian beliefs. If you want to learn a non-CRT (critical race theory) approach to race relations while risking being, again, convicted of the need to reach out to the other in gospel love--enter into dialogue--with the author by reading his book and let us pray together. If you want to keep it safe and your intercultural relationships as they are--in a tongue in cheek way the author advices to--stay away from this book
Christianity and Critical Race Theory – A Faithful and Constructive Conversation

Christianity and Critical Race Theory – A Faithful and Constructive Conversation

"People interested in critical race theory and Christians concerned about faith integration and social justice will find this book to be very helpful."--Library JournalCritical race theory has become a lightning rod in contemporary American politics and evangelical Christianity. This irenic book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how critical race theory can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice--and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage it in faithful and constructive ways.The authors explore aspects of critical race theory that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between critical race theory and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. The book includes a helpful glossary of key terms.

As Christians we must follow the biblical admonition of "speaking the truth in love." Yet in the current climate indecent and defensive attack language seem to be more common. Yes, the topics are volatile. Yes, emotions are high. Yes, we know many who are directly impacted by the outcomes of these discussions. And, yes, we must speak the present truth in loving ways in these difficult conversations. The grace option is a good place to start-and that is where this book starts. Using the parable of the sower as a backdrop we should be sowers of the seeds of Shalom. We can make a difference. We must make a difference.These are not simple issues, rather, they are very complex with many moving pieces. It is our hope that this book will contribute to the conversation that rages, on a daily basis, over immigration on a global scale. We hope that you will become uncomfortable, even upset, by what you read on these pages. We also hope that you will be provoked to action. We hope that grace will prevail and that the seeds of shalom will sprout and grow.Contributors Include: HyeRan Kim-Cragg, ThDMichael D. Crane, PhDRicardo L. Franco, LSW, DMinDaniel G.

Brown Church – Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity
Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist Interest in and awareness of the demand for social justice as an outworking of the Christian faith is growing. But it is not new. For five hundred years, Latina/o culture and identity have been shaped by their challenges to the religious, socio-economic, and political status quo, whether in opposition to Spanish colonialism, Latin American dictatorships, US imperialism in Central America, the oppression of farmworkers, or the current exploitation of undocumented immigrants. Christianity has played a significant role in that movement at every stage. Robert Chao Romero, the son of a Mexican father and a Chinese immigrant mother, explores the history and theology of what he terms the "Brown Church." Romero considers how this movement has responded to these and other injustices throughout its history by appealing to the belief that God's vision for redemption includes not only heavenly promises but also the transformation of every aspect of our lives and the world. Walking through this history of activism and faith, readers will discover that Latina/o Christians have a heart after God's own.

The Chinese in Mexico, 1882-1940

An estimated 60,000 Chinese entered Mexico during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, constituting Mexico's second-largest foreign ethnic community at the time. The Chinese in Mexico provides a social history of Chinese immigration to and settlement in Mexico in the context of the global Chinese diaspora of the era. Robert Romero argues that Chinese immigrants turned to Mexico as a new land of economic opportunity after the passage of the U.S. Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. As a consequence of this legislation, Romero claims, Chinese immigrants journeyed to Mexico in order to gain illicit entry into the United States and in search of employment opportunities within Mexico's developing economy. Romero details the development, after 1882, of the 'Chinese transnational commercial orbit,' a network encompassing China, Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean, shaped and traveled by entrepreneurial Chinese pursuing commercial opportunities in human smuggling, labor contracting, wholesale merchandising, and small-scale trade. Romero's study is based on a wide array of Mexican and U.S. archival sources. It draws from such quantitative and qualitative sources as oral histories, census records, consular reports, INS interviews, and legal documents. Two sources, used for the first time in this kind of study, provide a comprehensive sociological and historical window into the lives of Chinese immigrants in Mexico during these years: the Chinese Exclusion Act case files of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and the 1930 Mexican municipal census manuscripts. From these documents, Romero crafts a vividly personal and compelling story of individual lives caught in an extensive network of early transnationalism.
