Overview
In
Of Corn and Catholicism Andrea Maria McComb Sanchez
examines the development of the patron saint feast days among
Eastern Pueblo Indians of New Mexico from the seventeenth century
to the late nineteenth century. Focusing on the ways Pueblo
religion intertwined with Spanish Catholicism, McComb Sanchez
explores feast days as sites of religious resistance,
accommodation, and appropriation. McComb Sanchez introduces the
term \"bounded incorporation\" to conceptualize how Eastern Pueblo
people kept boundaries flexible: as they incorporated aspects of
Catholicism, they changed Catholicism as well, making it part of
their traditional religious lifeway. McComb Sanchez uses archival
and published primary sources, anthropological records, and her
qualitative fieldwork to discuss how Pueblo religion was kept
secret and safe during the violence of seventeenth-century
Spanish colonialism in New Mexico; how Eastern Pueblos developed
strategies of resistance and accommodation, in addition to
secrecy, to deal with missionaries and Catholicism in the
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; how patron saint feast
days emerged as a way of incorporating a foreign religion on the
Pueblos' own terms; and how, by the later nineteenth century,
these feast days played a significant role in both Pueblo and
Hispano communities through the Pueblos' own initiative.
