| Summary: | This book examines the religious motivations of individuals and groups as they grapple with the contemporary immigration controversy along the US–Mexican border. Whereas existing scholarly research on the nexus of religion and immigration attitudes tends to be quantitative and a little “distant” in nature (meaning that the authors, including myself, often carry out our analyses from the comfort of our academic office chairs), Ananda Rose offers an up-front, first-hand ethnographic account of how religion shapes responses to immigrant border crossings in Arizona. Her goal is to describe and analyze the paradox that activists on both sides of the immigration issue each appeal to Judeo-Christian values to support their efforts. |
