Acting on Faith - Religious Development Organizations in Northwestern Argentina

Informationen zum Autor By Laurie A. Occhipinti Klappentext Acting on Faith deftly examines the role of religious discourse in processes of economic development by exploring a case study based on twelve months of intensive qualitative research examining the role of small, Catholic non-government organizations (NGOs) in indigenous communities in northwest Argentina. The difficulty facing the communities and their associated NGOs is how to create conditions that ameliorate poverty, without undermining cultural values.
