Abstract

The article discusses the spread of Sinarquismo, a nationalist, pro-Catholic, and anti-communist movement, from Mexico to the United States in the late 1930s. The movement aimed to unite Mexicans in both countries to work towards a Catholic-influenced regime focused on social justice. Through connections with the National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC), the movement expanded into cities like Los Angeles and El Paso, establishing committees and spreading its message. The UNS, as the movement was known, grew to include half a million followers across borders, with a significant presence in the US, before declining in the 1960s. The article highlights the transnational impact of the movement and its role in challenging the postrevolutionary Mexican state from afar. [Extracted from the article]
