An exploration of ways in which Pentecostalism responds to economic and environmental stress on the US/Mexico border, in particular by a style of worship which focuses on healing and thus may help its followers to reclaim agency in the macroeconomic, environmental, and public health changes of the twentieth century. Feminist theory and an analysis of the significance of gender in this cultural setting and process are central to the research.
