About this book
Reviews
“Revelaon in Aztlán is a must-read for anyone interested in the Chicanx movement and contemporary biblical scholarship. It is a bold and eloquent work written by a scholar for an audience of scholars. … Hidalgo’s work provides a template for understanding an oppressed community from a tumultuous era in the last century, but it also opens new opportunies to reflect on and respond to our crisis today.” (Jason Steidle, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, September, 2018)
“Hidalgo lifts the veil on the intersections between the imaginary of the Bible, particularly the book of Revelation, and the scripturalizing discourses of the Chicano/a movements of the 1960s and 70s. An eclectic and disciplined mix of ethnography, textual analysis, category criticism, cultural critique, and a kind of social history, Revelation in Aztlán shows how scriptures are made through social practices even as communities are shaped by scripture. This book is a must-read.” (Melanie Johnson-DeBaufre, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, Drew Theological School, USA)
“In Revelation in Aztlán, Hidalgo transgresses traditional approaches to biblical hermeneutics by privileging modern textual appropriations and applications of the Bible (scripturalization) over textual analysis of the ancient texts themselves (scriptural exegesis). This is subjective biblical criticism in its most refined form.” (David A. Sánchez, Associate Professor of Early Christianity, Loyola Marymount University, USA)
“Hidalgo’s innovative project focuses on a conversation between various Chicano/a movement formulations of Aztlán and the book of Revelation as a way of thinking about the legacies of scriptural formations and transformations in the United States. This is necessary reading for anyone interested in scriptural interpretation and the legacies of colonialism in the United States. I highly recommend it.” (Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Krister Stendhal Professor, the Divinity School, Harvard University, USA)
