In 1966, a group of UCLA law school professors sparked the era of
affirmative action by creating one of the earliest and most
expansive race-conscious admissions programs in higher education.
The Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) served to integrate
the legal profession by admitting large cohorts of minority
students under non-traditional standards, and sending them into the
world as emissaries of integration upon graduation. Together, these
students bent the arc of educational equality, and the LEOP served
as a model for similar programs around the country. Drawing upon
rich historical archives and interviews with dozens of students and
professors who helped integrate UCLA, this book argues that such
programs should be reinstituted-and with haste-because affirmative
action worked.

Looking beyond prominent figures or major ecclesial events,
Liberation Theology and the Others offers a fresh historical
perspective on Latin American liberation theology. Thirteen case
studies, from Mexico to Uruguay, depict a vivid picture of
religious and lay activism that shaped the profile of the Latin
American Catholic Church in the second half of the 20th century.
Stressing the transnational character of Catholic activism and its
intersections with prevalent discourses of citizenship, ethnicity
or development, scholars from Latin America, the US, and Europe,
analyze how pastoral renewal was debated and embraced in multiple
local and culturally diverse contexts. Contributors explore the
connections between Latin American liberation theology and
anthropology in Peru, armed revolutionaries in highland Guatemala,
and the implementation of neoliberalism in Bolivia. They identify
conceptions of the popular church, indigenous religiosity, women's
leadership, and student activism circulated among Latin American
religious and lay activists between the 1960s and the 1980s. By
revisiting the multifaceted and oftentimes contingent nature of
church reforms, this edited volume provides fascinating new
insights into one of the most controversial religious movements of
the 20th century.
El 12 de noviembre de 1978 se produjo la union de dos almas que
activo la guerra entre la luz y la oscuridad. Basado en una
historia real que dura hasta nuestros dias, hace que el ser humano
se empiece a preguntar de forma responsable sobre su existencia y
sobre la existencia de los demas, conforme se va introduciendo en
las fuentes del conocimiento. Significando tan solo el principio de
esa gran batalla final muy proxima, al descubrir que en conciencia,
no hay juez mas implacable que uno mismo.
