“Hidalgo does a good job of navigating the world of religious study/commentary and Latino/a studies. It is a masterful work of Chicanx history and texts … . for experts in Chicanx studies, the analysis of key texts from the lens of scripture and utopia provides a new avenue of studying this history that pays attention to religious language.” (Fides et Historia, Vol. 51 (1), 2019)“Revelaon in Aztlán is a must-read for anyone interested in the Chicanx movement and contemporary biblical scholarship. It is a bold and eloquent work written by a scholar for an audience of scholars. … Hidalgo’s work provides a template for understanding an oppressed community from a tumultuous era in the last century, but it also opens new opportunies to reflect on and respond to our crisis today.” (Jason Steidle, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, September, 2018)
