Juan Francisco Martínez. Sea la Luz: The Making of Mexican Protestantism in the American Southwest, 1829–1900. (Al Filo: Mexican American Studies Series, number 4.) Denton: University of North Texas Press. 2006. Pp. xii, 196. $24.95.

The genesis of Hispanic Protestantism among Mexican-descent residents in the U.S. Southwest is receiving growing scholarly attention. Randi Jones Walker's Protestantism in the Sangre de Cristos, 1850–1920 (1991) and Susan M. Yohn's A Contest of Faiths: Missionary Women and Pluralism in the American Southwest (1995) explore the phenomenon in New Mexico and southern Colorado. More recent studies focused on Texas include Daisy L. Machado, Of Borders and Margins: Hispanic Disciples in Texas, 1888–1945 (2003), and Paul Barton, Hispanic Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists in Texas (2006). Juan Francisco Martífinez's impressive volume is distinguished in its comprehensive examination of Mexican Protestantism from Texas to California. The years 1829–1900 represent a foundational period after which Latino religion in the region changed dramatically due to developments like the rise of Pentecostalism through the Azusa Street Revival and accelerated immigration during and after the Mexican Revolution.
