Praise for this book
"With imaginative leaps and careful excavations across two centuries of written and visual cultures, Edward Wright-Rios's search for Madre Matiana dissects Mexico's ongoing cultural cleavage around religion, revealing its essential ties to gender, politics, and national identities."--John Lear, author of Workers, Neighbors, and Citizens: The Revolution in Mexico City
