Claiming the Virgin: The Broken Promise of Liberation Theology in Brazil


Overview

Claiming the Virgin explores a particularly vivid example of liberation theology - an innovative religious and political movement that flourished in Latin America for more than twenty years. 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.
