"Addressing religion, spirituality and sanctity in Chicana/o culture, Borderlands Saints makesa significant contribution to a burgeoning area that demands critical attention." -- Carl Gutiérrez-Jones * University of California, Santa Barbara *
"Through Martín’s incisive critical textual analysis we come to see the borderlands—and the exchange there between devotees and saints—as an important site for the performance of secular sanctity. Borderlands Saints is an invaluable contribution to border studies." -- Laura G. Gutiérrez * author of Performing Mexicanidad: Vendidas y Cabareteras on the Transnational Stage *
