| 520 | |a Most studies of religious movement expansion in Latin America have stressed the concept of conversion as the major focus of research. Very often, the proposed subject of study—why peasants join a new religion—has been the effects and satisfactions resulting from joining a movement, rather than the original motives for seeking to join. Employing ethnographic examples from peasant recruitment and life histories from a Mexican millenarian colony, I favour drawing a working distinction between recruitment' and conversion' as analytically separable phases of a seeker's involvement with a movement. Conversion refers to an ongoing process of identity transformation after joining a religious movement, while recruitment refers to the decision-making process leading to membership in a movement. An analysis of peasant processes of affiliation at the Mexican colony shows that the millenarian doctrines of the colony have played a minimal or negligible cognitive role in peasants' decisions to join. It is argued that apocalyptic doctrines may have been over-emphasized as motivators of peasant recruitment to millenarian-orientated groups in Latin America. | ||
