Mixtec Evangelicals is a comparative ethnography of four Mixtec communities in Oaxaca, detailing the process by which economic migration and religious conversion combine to change the social and cultural makeup of predominantly folk-Catholic communities. The book describes the effects on the home communities of the Mixtecs who travel to northern Mexico and the United States in search of wage labor and return having converted from their rural Catholic roots to Evangelical Protestant religions. O’Connor demonstrates the ways that neoliberal policies have forced Mixtecs to migrate and how migration provides the contexts for conversion. Converts challenge the set of customs governing their Mixtec villages by refusing to participate in the Catholic ceremonies and social gatherings that are at the center of traditional village life. Home communities have responded in a number of ways—ranging from expulsion of converts to partial acceptance and adjustments within the village.

Pourquoi, après la fin de la guerre froide, des personnes et des populations entières, installées en Ukraine, ainsi que dans d’autres républiques d’ex-Union soviétique depuis des siècles, ont revendiqué une origine grecque et construit des projets de « retour » vers la Grèce ? C’est la question qui est au cœur de cet ouvrage. Il étudie les migrations grecques vers l’Empire russe où des Grecs, dans leur grande majorité ressortissants de l’Empire ottoman, se sont installés en nombre dès le xviiie s. et analyse les migrations de retour diasporiques et les migrations économiques transnationales d’Ukraine, et d’autres républiques d’ex-Union soviétique, vers la Grèce et vers Chypre, dès la fin des années 1980. À travers l’histoire d’un groupe diasporique, les Grecs de Mariupol, il essaie de comprendre pourquoi il n’y a pas eu de « retour » collectif de ces Grecs vers la « mère-patrie imaginée ». This book explores the reasons which pushed individuals and entire communities residing in Ukraine and in other former Soviet republics for centuries to claim their Greek origin after the end of the Cold War and endeavour “return” migration to Greece. The book provides a historic background, tracing Greek migrations to the Russian Empire where the Greeks, mainly from the Ottoman Empire, settled in large numbers in the 18th and 19th centuries. It then analyses diasporic return migrations and transnational economic migrations from Ukraine and other former Soviet republics to Greece and Cyprus since the late 1980s. The book focuses on the history of one diaspora group in particular, namely, the Mariupol Greeks, and discusses the reasons why there has been no community “return” migration in the case of these Greeks to the “imagined motherland”.

""Mixtec Evangelicals is a comparative ethnography of four Mixtec communities in Oaxaca, detailing the process by which economic migration and religious conversion combine to change the social and cultural makeup of predominantly folk- Catholic communities"--Provided by publisher"-- "Mixtec Evangelicals is a comparative ethnography of four Mixtec communities in Oaxaca, detailing the process by which economic migration and religious conversion combine to change the social and cultural makeup of predominantly folk-Catholic communities. The book describes the effects on the home communities of the Mixtecs who travel to northern Mexico and the United States in search of wage labor and return having converted from their rural Catholic roots to Evangelical Protestant religions.O'Connor identifies globalization as the root cause of this process. She demonstrates the ways that neoliberal policies have forced Mixtecs to migrate and how migration provides the contexts for conversion. Converts challenge the set of customs governing their Mixtec villages by refusing to participate in the Catholic ceremonies and social gatherings that are at the center of traditional village life. The home communities have responded in a number of ways--ranging from expulsion of converts to partial acceptance and adjustments within the village--depending on the circumstances of conversion and number of converts returning.Presenting data and case studies resulting from O'Connor's ethnographic field research in Oaxaca and various migrant settlements in Mexico and the United States, Mixtec Evangelicals explores this phenomenon of globalization and observes how ancient communities are changed by their own emissaries to the outside world. Students and scholars of anthropology, Latin American studies, and religion will find much in this book to inform their understanding of globalization, modernity, indigeneity, and religious change"--
