Claiming the Virgin - The Broken Promise of Liberation Theology in Brazil (Paperback, New)

Claiming the Virgin explores a particularly vivid example of liberation theology, a religous and political movement that flourished in Latin America for more than twenty years. Focusing on the diocese of Olinda and Recife on the northest ocast of Brazil, it moves from the particulars of the Recife conflict to the larger debates within Roman Catholicism that the movement evokes. It presents the differing interpretations and ritual practices of coomunity residents on either side of the issue and explains how, despite its failures, liberation theology left a legacy still felt in Recife and other parts of Latin America.
