Contents:
A History of Faith and Conflict -- Religious Refugees, Political Exiles, and the U.S. Catholic Church -- "In Defense of Their Brothers Beyond the Río Grande" -- Bishops, Knights, Border Guards, and Spies -- After the Arreglos -- Memories, Myths, and Martyrs -- Epilogue: Cristeros Resurgent. In Mexican Exodus, Julia Young reframes the Cristero war as a transnational conflict, using previously unexamined archival materials from both Mexico and the United States to investigate the intersections between Mexico's Cristero War and Mexican migration to the United States during the late 1920s. She traces the formation, actions, and ideologies of the Cristero diaspora--a network of Mexicans across the United States who supported the Catholic uprising from beyond the border.--Provided by publisher
