A Latino Reading of Race, Kinship, and the EmpireThe Prologue and Race: La Raza Cósmica

A Latino Reading of Race, Kinship, and the Empire: The Prologue and Race: La Raza Cósmica [This chapter examines from a Latino perspective the role of race, racial representation, and racial rhetoric in the prologue and gospel narrative. Special attention is given to José Vasconcelos’s La Raza Cósmica, which introduces the mestizo ideology used by many Latinx theologians. This concept, including insights from Vasconcelos, provides hermeneutical insights that can aid the interpretation of the racial rhetoric of the prologue and gospel. The chapter reviews the gospel’s portrayal of the Jews, the Samaritans, and the Greeks, with the overall assessment of the racial rhetoric from these episodes done from a Latino perspective.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines from a Latino perspective the role of race, racial representation, and racial rhetoric in the prologue and gospel narrative. Special attention is given to José Vasconcelos’s La Raza Cósmica, which introduces the mestizo ideology used by many Latinx theologians. This concept, including insights from Vasconcelos, provides hermeneutical insights that can aid the interpretation of the racial rhetoric of the prologue and gospel. The chapter reviews the gospel’s portrayal of the Jews, the Samaritans, and the Greeks, with the overall assessment of the racial rhetoric from these episodes done from a Latino perspective.]
