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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Content\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Liberation Theology and the Other(s)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Büschges, Andrea Müller and Noah Oehri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Representing the Poor \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe anthropological pastor: Liberation theology and the social representation of Andean rural communities (1950s-1980s)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Büschges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Andean Pastoral Institute (IPA) and the Others: Social Science, Pastoral and Liberation Theology in the Peruvian Highlands \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRolando Iberico Ruiz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaking Liberation Theology Indigenous: The Seminario Regional del Sureste (SERESURE) and Indigenous Mexico, 1969-1990 \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eEben Levey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eMissionary or Revolutionary?
