In this intriguing study, Jason Dormady examines the ways members of Mexico's urban and rural poor used religious community to mediate between themselves and the state through the practice of religious primitivism, the belief that they were restoring Christianity--and the practice of Mexican citizenship--to a more pure and essential state.
Jason H. Dormady is an associate professor of history at Central Washington University. He is also the author of Primitive Revolution: Restorationist Religion and the Idea of the Mexican Revolution, 1940-1968 (UNM Press).
