In the waning years of Latin America's longest and bloodiest civil
war, the rise of an unlikely duo is transforming Colombia:
Christianity and access to credit. In her exciting new book,
Rebecca C. Bartel details how surging evangelical conversions and
widespread access to credit cards, microfinance programs, and
mortgages are changing how millions of Colombians envision a more
prosperous future. Yet programs of financialization propel new
modes of violence. As prosperity becomes conflated with peace, and
debt with devotion, survival only becomes possible through credit
and its accompanying forms of indebtedness. A new future is on the
horizon, but it will come at a price.
