Claiming the Virgin - The Broken Promise of Liberation Theology in Brazil (Hardcover)

"Claiming the Virgin" explores a particularly vivid example of
liberation theology--a religious and political movement that
flourished in Latin America for more than twenty years. Focusing on
the diocese of Olinda and Recife on the northeast coast 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
community 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.
"Claiming the Virgin" illuminates the perspective of the
poor--those for whom liberation theology was intended, though they
were, in fact, often overlooked by those who carried out its work.
