This is an exploration of a particularly vivid example of liberation theology, an innovative religious and political movement that flourished in Latin America for more than 20 years. explains how, despite its failures, liberation theology left a legacy still felt in Latin America.
In rich ethnographic detail, Robin Nagle chronicles the life of a poor Brazilian community in its relationship to the Catholic church and to the larger politics of Brazil. Centered in Recife, on the northeast coast, Nagle''s work investigates how liberation theology attracted followers, and demonstrates why the movement never took hold as predicted.
