Review of the book Power from the Margins: The Emergence of the Latino in the Church and in Society. Maryknoll, New York, US, Orbis Books 2016. Pp. xiv + 202This book was published in 2016, in the context of Barak Obama´s "yes we can" and the beginning of the papacy of Francisco. The author, addresses "Latino" Catholicism in the USA. In doing so, he tells us about the way in which this spirit of the epoch was interpreted by an important part of the Catholic Church in that country. In the context of the rapid change that has occurred in the USA and in the world since its publication, particularly regarding immigration policies, its reading becomes especially interesting.
