But it is not new.\nFor 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.\nRobert 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0830852859\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0830852859.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Romero, Robert Chao\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
