Moral behavior and ethical reflection do not occur in the abstract, but are deeply rooted in the historical and cultural contexts within which they take substance and form. This book presents the religious, social, and ethical sources that inform the moral thinking and practice of Hispanic Christians in the United States. Garcia identifies key experiences that are formative of the ethical point of view of Hispanic people: the experience of migration, the dynamics of social integration with a dominant culture, and the struggle to define a new identity.
