- Description
- This book on religion and politics in Latin America has teamed up to produce st comprehensive study of women’s grassroots religious movements in Brazil and Chile. On a theoretical level, the book compels us to rethink the conventional wisdom about the ‘death’ of social movements in Latin America. On a more human level, the interviews with women activists give voice to ‘ordinary heroes’ so often absent from the literature. The tremendous access Drogus and Stewart-Gambino had with these women gives the analysis a degree of depth and insight that is hard to match.”
