Stubborn hope: religion, politics, and revolution in Central America

Abstract

Chronicling more than decade of war, revolution, and social change, Phillip Berryman offers a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between religion and politics in Central America. Concentrating on Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala, Berryman shows how, during the 1980s, each country became the setting for a profound drama of faith and oppression, revolution and retrenchment.
