Apostles of Change: Latino Radical Politics, Church Occupations, and the Fight to Save the Barrio (Historia USA)

Apostles of Change is a groundbreaking book that delves into the little-known history of Latino radicals occupying churches in the late 1960s and early '70s, challenging urban renewal, poverty, police brutality, and racism.

Through case studies from major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Houston, Felipe Hinojosa reveals how these movements frequently crossed boundaries between faith and politics, and argues that understanding their history is essential to grasping the dynamic changes in Latino religious groups during this time period.

This book provides valuable insights for anyone interested in social movements, Latina/o history, and urban studies, as well as practical wisdom for community workers and activists.
