"A city inhabited by many gods. Cartography religious Guadalajara
After reading this book one can doubt that Guadalajara is experiencing a change in religious composition. Although it has been, and remains, a strategic city for the National Catholic hegemony, we can say that Guadalajara is no longer just the territory of Catholicism but contested space by many Christian denominations is a city inhabited by many gods.
reaching this conclusion the authors had to pass through the area of \u200b\u200bthe city in search of places where believers gather to perform religious practices or services other than Catholics, and thus account for a new urban landscape: the of a metropolis populated and practiced by a plurality of religious offerings competing for the salvation of marking contribution. This has an impact on the cultural diversity of the people of this city, but also in the internal organization of neighborhood life. Walking the streets with this vision, and through the use of instruments and historiographical analysis, statistics and geography, the maps show a close relationship between the recent construction of the city and the growing religious diversity. Start the analysis of this phenomenon and contribute to the transition to a new plurality in Guadalajara, ie recognition of the diversity and legitimacy, is the objective of this work.
