Latino Immigrant Ethnic Identity and Religious Affiliation in the US

pic1As the percentage of the Latino population in the United States has grown dramatically over the previous decades, this growth has coincided with a diversification of religious adherence among Latinos. This has been most visible in growing pentecostal and evangelical expressions of Christianity. CGCM faculty associate Jonathan Calvillo recently presented his research on the impact of this diversification on Latino ethnic identity and ethnic community at the “International Colloquium on Latinos in the United States” held in Havana, Cuba, October 16th-18th.
