Pentecostal Praxis and Solidarity in Xenophobic Times

Mexico, Pentecostalism, migration, xenophobiaAbstract
This article proposes an interdisciplinary conversation about paradigm shifts within the context of migration and xenophobia along the US–Mexico border. Data in church documents, periodical reports, testimonials, life histories, congregational records, and hymnody compel a rethinking of received notions of early Pentecostals as socially or politically disengaged, and provide a historical corrective to contemporary social scientific studies of Latino/Latin American Pentecostalism.
