"Compact anthropological case study of liberation theology in a shantytown parish of Recife under a conservative bishop. Uses 1991 dispute over the feast of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception to elicit conflicting narratives over relationship between religion, social life, and politics. Interesting emphasis on expression of social and political tensions in church ritual"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
Claiming the Virgin: The Broken Promise of Liberation Theology in Brazil Full Description
"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.
