This thesis looks at the origin, development and perpetuation of a religiously based regional identity in the region of Los Altos, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. An examination of the interaction between Catholic religion, specific historical events, collective memory and regional discourse reveals how religion as a factor informing collective affiliation can be mobilized in ways that have social and political significance.
