Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, evangelical Christian denominations have made converts throughout much of Roman Catholic Latin America, causing clashes of faith that sometimes escalate to violence. Yet in one Mexican town, Tzintzuntzan, the appearance of new churches has provoked only harmony. Catholics and evangelicals alike profess that "all religions are good," a sentiment not far removed from "here we are all equal," which was commonly spoken in the community before evangelicals arrived. In this paradigm-challenging study, Peter Cahn investigates why the coming of evangelical churches to Tzintzuntzan has produced neither the interfaith clashes nor the economic prosperity that evangelical conversion has brought to other communities in Mexico and Latin America. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, he demonstrates that the evangelicals' energetic brand of faith has not erupted into violence because converts continue to participate in communal life, while Catholics, in turn, participate in evangelical practices. He also underscores how Tzintzuntzan's integration into global economic networks strongly motivates the preservation of community identity and encourages this mutual borrowing. At the same time, however, Cahn concludes that the suppression of religious difference undermines the revolutionary potential of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis focuses on the archaeological site of Tzintzuntzan, a Prehispanic site located in West-Central Mexico. Situated within the Pátzcuaro Lake Basin, Tzintzuntzan was once the capital of the Tarascan Empire, a state-level, Mesoamerican society that emerged around AD 1350. In 1970, Helen Pollard completed an archaeological survey of Tzintzuntzan, forming the basis of her PhD dissertation in 1972. Central to Pollard's dissertation was the concept of urbanism in the formation of Tzintzuntzan. She tested the presence of urban planning and zoning, the function of Tzintzuntzan as the major Tarascan city, and whether it was political, ceremonial, or economic in nature. This thesis reanalyzes Pollard's Tzintzuntzan survey with focus on the ceramic artifacts collected, and provides a quantitative analysis for the classification of sites into zonal categories"--Abstract.
