This book embodies an invitation to broaden our scope of what it means to be Latina/o/x and Latin America. Drawing from her Asian background and experience in Argentina, Hanna Kang uncovers some of the contested-until now neglected and silenced-identity edges of mestizaje debates across the Americas. Engaging Latina/o/x theologians, she also taps into interculturality as a generative framework for conceptualizing the coming together of multiple identities, cultures, and faith experiences

Since the colonial period and Catarina de San Juan, 'la China Poblana,' Asians have had a prophetic religious presence in Latin America. It has taken four hundred years, but Hanna Kang opens the first comprehensive conversation about Asian-Latinxs from a theological perspective. This book makes a much-needed contribution to Latinx theology and the academic literature on mestizaje.

Unlike any work I have seen to date, Kang's rethinking of mestizaje, one of the foundational concepts of Latinx theology skillfully developed by Elizondo in the 80's, takes the notion of hybridity to a new level, one which prophetically creates, not only an innovative bridge between the Americas and Asia, but also re-envisions living connections between Bible and human experience. Meticulously researched, it draws extensively from contemporary, intercultural scholarship and brings to light the imaginative work of a new generation of Latina scholars.
