Riassunto:

Profane & Sacred examines religious discourse in contemporary Latino/a fiction, exploring how religion creates, mediates, or changes Latino/a culture and identity. Much contemporary literary criticism on Latino/a literature has focused on the bilingual and bicultural nature of Latino/a identity, history, and cultural production. But just as the multiplicity of cultures and languages has shaped Latino/a identity and history, so too has religion. Studying the religious discourse found in fiction can clearly enrich not only our perception of the diversity within the Hispanic communities, but also the diversity between sociologists and creative writers.
