Description: "Theoretical and sometimes empirical essays treat a variety of topics, including the increasing plurality of religious beliefs and practices; increasing secularization via modernization; and the occasional recognition of the 'religious field' as a 'marketplace' of competing groups. Empirically interesting are Samandú on Nicaraguan Pentecostals; González on Mexican popular Catholicism and syncretism; Gama, who adds much theoretical care to his study of Jehovah's Witnesses in Mexico; and the editor on migration and religious uniformity/diversity in Mexican history"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
