Abstract: The conference introduced the Harvard community to some of the key intellectual concerns relating to the study of U.S. Latino religions and theologies, in the context of a history of colonial conquest. It examined how post-colonial themes, as emerging from the Latino/a context, are shaping theological and religious inquiry in the U.S. today.
