CALVO-QUIROS, W. A., Undocumented Saints. The Politics of Migrating Devotions. Oxford University Press, 2022. 368p. Hardback. In this brilliant and beautiful book, William A. Calvo-Quiros shows how for more than a century the miracles of migrant survival, subsistence, resistance, and affirmation have been fueled by the veneration of vernacular saints, most of whom remain not canonized by the Church. In the midst of exploitation, criminalization, and demonization, narratives about and appeals to Jesus Malverde, Juan Soldado, Olga Camacho, Toribio Romo, and La Santa Muerte have enabled migrants to envision a future beyond oppression. The specific case studies in this book evoke a larger truth: that as people migrate, faith accompanies them, and becomes transformed in the process.
