Vatican and Catholic Activism in Mexico and Chile - The Politics of Transnational Catholicism, 1920-1940

Zusatztext Stephen Andes's excellent study of transnational Catholic politics in Mexico, Chile, and Rome connects two national histories to interwar Vatican diplomacy ... It gives real insights into how the Vatican centralized political dialogue with the Latin American states, recouping the political capital of social Catholicism and finessing the local contours of Church and state in the process. Informationen zum Autor Stephen J. C. Andes received his doctorate at Oxford University and is assistant professor in the history of Latin America at Louisiana State University. The Mexico Section of the Latin American Studies Association awarded him the best dissertation prize in 2010-2011. His recent work includes an article exploring the impact of the Vatican on Catholic identity in post-revolutionary Mexico and a chapter in an edited volume detailing the impact of the Cristero Rebellion (1926-1929) on Chilean Catholics. In April 2012 he published an article in The Americas journal entitled 'A Catholic Alternative to Revolution: The Survival of Social Catholicism in Postrevolutionary Mexico'. His current book project is a biography of Gustavo Gutiérrez, one of the intellectual founders of liberation theology.
