This review is from: The Church, Dictatorships, and Democracy in Latin America (Paperback)
From Planeta Journal - This fascinating history of liaisons among powerful institutions is both well-written and deeply sad. Chapters examine the Catholic Church's history in Latin America from its Colonial Legacy to current relations in Peru, Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Other countries come under the magnifying lens as well, including Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and El Salvador. This study is recommended for any reader interested in human rights and democratic development in the region.
