Evangelicals and political power in Mexico: reconfiguring alliances and antagonisms

Abstract

Recovering the historical conditions that configure it, in this text I address the emergence of the evangelical political subject in Mexico from the analytical proposal of Joanildo Burity in his article The Evangelical People: Hegemonic Construction, Minority Disputes, and Conservative Reaction. Making use of his approach on the populist moment, I sustain that this emergency only acquires its full meaning in the interactions with the political field and in relation to the state of their relations and I reflect on the articulation of evangelicals and politics against feminism as antagonist.
