"""[Pentecostalism in Urban Oaxaca] is an evocative, beautifully rendered ethnography of the Divine Light Church, an Evangelical Christian congregation located in the city of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. . . Ramirez's writing is sensitive and compassionate, and her natural empathy and boundless generosity of spirit shine throughout. We see examples of this when she describes her own surprising journey in the Divine Light Church and as she recounts aspects of the lives, for better and for worse, of its preachers and congregants"". --Carole H. Browner is a distinguished research professor at University of California Los Angeles. She is the coauthor of Neurogenetic Diagnoses: The Power of Hope and the Limits of Today's Medicine (Routledge) and editor of the award-winning collection, Reproduction, Globalization, and the State: New Theoretical and Ethnographic Perspectives (Duke). She has written many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, including on gender and health in Mexico."
