Abstract

CARPIO PEREZ, Amílcar. "Each prayer hides a fear": Fear and rites in the current migratory process. Sig. his [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.30, pp.108-140. ISSN 1665-4420.

This article proposes to study the fears that involve the migratory process of Mexicans to the United States, through the analysis of two religious practices: 1) the orisons related to migration, which are difussed by different means; 2) the ex-votos that have been deposited for the last decades in two sanctuaries located at the municipality of Totatiche, Jalisco. This paper brings us near to the study of popular religious practices and the history of the present time.

Keywords : migration; exvotes; popular religiosity; history of fear; devotion.
