This book discusses how the competitive environment of Latin
America's social life has facilitated religious innovation in
different regional and national settings. Pattnayak argues that
organized religion has responded admirably to change and
competition and will survive well in the period of increasing
democratization of Latin America. In addition, the author shows how
religious change that focuses on community organization,
mobilization, and education of the citizenry carries wider
legitimacy than ordinary political strategies. Readers of this book
will benefit from its wide coverage of the Catholic and the
Protestant churches and its definitive statements about the
political capability of religious communities. An excellent text
for students in courses on religion and politics, social change,
social movements, and state-society relations. University
libraries, persons interested in church-state relations in Latin
America, churches and parishes that have branches in Latin America,
and professors and scholars of history, sociology, anthropology,
political science, and religious studies will all benefit from this
concise and definitive look at religion and politics in Latin
America.
