View Item Record

Description:

Andres G. Guerrero, author of "A Chicano Theology," reminisces about his childhood in east Texas, his family and his education, and describes his personal evolution and awakening as a community organizer and teacher working with the poor in the Saginaw, MI Diocese. Guerrero, who holds a doctorate in theology, says that most religions are Euro-centric and do not account for a "native way" of thinking and he challenges all religious institutions to simply "teach love". Guerrero also discusses his book and suggests areas for further study in leadership, organizing, and managing power for the benefit of the entire Chicano Latino community and not just the few. Guerrero is interviewed by Michigan State University Librarian Diana Rivera for the "Mexican Voices - Michigan Lives" oral history series.
