Michael Lowy, "The War of Gods: Religion and Politics in Latin America (Critical Studies in Latin American and Iberian Cultures)"

This work examines the influence of religion on politics in Latin America over the past three decades. It includes: a new intrepretation of Liberation Theology, the arm of Catholicism which encourages the empowerment of oped people; an examination of other religious movements in Latin America; and a review of the Marxist and Weberian perspectives of religion, throwing new light on the influence of Catholicism over capitalism. In the 1960s, Liberation Theology addressed itself to the problems of a continent racked by poverty and opion. Comprising a network of localized communities and pastoral organizations, it soon became something much more than a doctrinal current. Liberationist Christianity defined itself in a multitude of social struggles, particularly in Brazil and Central America. Many of the most momentous events in the continent's recent history - the Nicaraguan revolution, the development of the PT (Worker's Party) in Brazil, the tortuous ascent of President Aristide in Haiti and the uprising in Chiapas - have borne witness to the influence of a distinctive Liberationist Christianity. This book proposes a new interpretation of Liberation Theology and of the rival religious projects in Latin America. Michael Lowy is the author of "Marxism and Liberation Theology", "Redemption and Utopia: Liberation Judaism in Central Europe" and "Marxism in Latin America".
