''The Church in the Barrio: Mexican American Ethno-Catholicism in Houston'' is a 2006 book by Roberto R. Treviño, published by the University of North Carolina Press. The work covers the years 1911-1972〔Carroll, p. 214.〕 and discusses the relationship between the Mexican-American community and the Catholic church, and the "ethno-Catholicism" among Houston's Mexicans.〔Odem, p. 243-244. "Trevino examines the development of Mexican "ethno-Catholicism" and its practitioners' fraught relationship with the Catholic Church in Houston in the twentieth century."〕 This ethno-Catholism consisted of the cultural interaction between Irish American priests, religious practices of the indigenous Mexicans, and Mexican customs.〔Aranda, p. 224-225. "Because the Mexican American community had to overcome the racist and Eurocentric ideologies of the church itself, the process of laying claim and espousing a hybrid brand of Catholicism (a mixture of Mexican mores, indigenous spiritual practices, and Irish Catholic clergy) had an uplifting politicizing effect, argues Treviño."〕 Mary E. Odem of Emory University wrote that "According to Trevino, ethno-Catholicism was more than a set of religious beliefs and practices; it was a way of life that sustained generations of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Houston".〔Odem, p. 244.〕 José F. Aranda, Jr. of Rice University wrote that "From beginning to end, Treviño demonstrates why Houston should no longer remain virtually neglected by Chicano/a researchers."〔Aranda, p. 225.〕 Michael P. Carroll of the University of Western Ontario argued that the book's title did not adequately cover the entire scope of the book; Carroll characterized this as a "mild complaint".〔 ==Background== Treviño grew up in Houston within the Mexican community. He is an associate professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he works as the Center for Mexican American Studies assistant director. Treviño is a Presbyterian.〔Kerstetter, p. 402.〕 The book originated as a Stanford University PhD dissertation.〔Ford, John T. (Catholic University of America). "THE CHURCH IN THE BARRIO: MEXICAN AMERICAN ETHNO‐CATHOLICISM IN HOUSTON – By Roberto R. Treviño." ''Religious Studies Review'', 2008, Vol.34(2), pp.123 - (DOI 10.1111/j.1748-0922.2008.00280_10.x )〕 Treviño's sources for the book include church archival material and records,〔Premack, p. 395-396.〕 located Houston, Austin, and San Antonio in Texas and in Chicago.〔 The archives include parish records.〔 Other sources include family papers;〔Odem, p. 243.〕 oral histories; organizational papers;〔 unpublished letters, religious and secular newspapers,〔 including Catholic newspapers and Spanish-language newspapers; and eighteen interviews.〔 Laura Premack of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill stated that the sourcing's "breadth and depth are one of the book’s major strengths."〔Premack, p. 396.〕 F. Arturo Rosales of Arizona State University stated that the book was the first published book to use "a micro-methodology" to examine the Catholic church relationship with Mexican Americans.〔Rosales, p. 727-728. "Few studies have viewed the impact of the Church by using a micro methodology which yielded a much-needed understanding of United States Mexicans through a community study approach pioneered by the historians of the 1970s. ()but Treviño's is the first to publish his findings within such a genre."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Church in the Barrio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
