Description
Chronicling more than a decade of war, revolution and social change, Phillip Berryman offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of the interplay between religion and politics in Central America. Concentrating on Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, Berryman shows how each country has become the setting for a profound drama of faith and oppression, revolution and entrenchment.
