Making Alternative Histories
—Carol McDavid,Historical Archaeology Vol. 32, no. 4 (1998)
“In 1992 a School for Advanced Research seminar brought together 11 scholars from Africa, India, Latin America, North America, and Europe to consider how archaeology and other historical research may be used ‘to recuperate the histories of peoples that have been erased, marginalized, or misrepresented…. [T]his collection … will make excellent, albeit challenging fodder for graduate student seminars and provocative reading for any practitioner confronting his or her own participation in the politics of writing the past.”
—Elizabeth Kryder-Reid, American Anthropologist 99, no. 3 (September 1997)
“In sum, this volume is an important contribution to the growing library of works that seek to demystify the production of historical and scientific knowledge… Undertaken as a collaborative endeavor that involved scholars of different backgrounds in the production of knowledge, the book is a signpost to the future.”
—Tamara L. Bray, Anthropological Quarterly Vol. 71, no. 1 (January 1998)
“This volume, the product of an advanced seminar at Santa Fe, provides a partisan view for the making of histories that are locally relevant and unencumbered by colonial and neo-colonial bias. It contains papers on Caribbean, Latin American, Native American, Indian and African archaeo

Published on H-LatAm (January, 1998)On Jibaro Pentecostals and Popular Religion in Puerto Rico
In a country where sanctuaries and pilgrimage sites are found on nearly every corner of the map; where talk of apparitions, miracles and the supernatural figures almost daily in shows, newspapers, and casual conversation; where preachers mobilize followers by the tens of thousands to gather them yearly before the capitol; and where bishops are dismissed amid intrigue, the paucity of scholarship on matters of popular religion seems remarkable. Indeed, Agosto Cintron's Religion y cambio social en Puerto Rico is a pioneering work, one among a handful.[1] It is also the first scholarly account of the development of grassroots religious movements among the island's displaced campesinado in the first half of this century.[2]
The study is framed by two moments of grave crisis: the inauguration of a new colonial order after the U.S. invasion of the island in 1898 and the disorienting economic collapse of the 1930s. Amid this disarray, the author argues, popular religious movements and devotions offered peasants the means and language for protest and mobilization and the symbolic framework in which to regain a sense of coherence and stability. The utopian orders these jibaros imagined, she adds, served as critiques of the status quo.
Nationalist histories and mythologies have often portrayed the success of Protestantism among sectors of Puerto Rico's campesinos only as an instance of deculturating Americanization. Their conversion, it has been argued, served only to support the modernizing colonial project. Perhaps the greatest virtue of Religion y cambio social is that it complicates this facile analysis.[3] The
