In this work, Father Júlio Lancellotti gives a historical account of his tireless 36-year journey at the side of homeless people in the city of São Paulo and his struggle to guarantee minimum conditions of life, dignity and subsistence to them. With extreme lucidity and vivacity, he critically analyzes the reality of the population living on the streets, especially in the city of São Paulo, and the change in the profile of this contingent, with a frightening growth in the number of women with children and families. In recent years, there have been serious flaws in the counting of these people by the census, as well as the establishment of repressive public policies and the worsening human...
The publication of this volume marks the Ten Year Anniversary of the Postcolonialism and Religions series. In intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives, the chapters of this book constitute a complex whole: a volume that does justice to the justice-seeking origins of Latin American Liberation Theology, philosophy, and sociology as it emerged in the 1960s-70s and its development to the present. What drives this book is a common spirit and conviction: Liberation Theologies of the Global South remain relevant to the sociocultural and geopolitical contexts of today, which remain ensconced in the dynamics, exclusions, and resistances that gave rise to Liberation Theologies six decades ago. Today we may speak of interculturality, of borderlands, of in-betweenness, in ways that complicate, confirm, affirm, and interrogate the “underside of history”, and the spaces that are marginalized but de-centered centers of liberation struggle — within, alongside, underneath, over-against societal projects that claim and exclude them, and that represent some of the actual challenges and opportunities to liberation.

In response to the damage caused by centuries of colonial ravaging and the current ecological, political and social crises, the leading Indigenous thinker and activist Ailton Krenak warns against the power of corporate capitalism and its destructive impact. Capitalism encroaches on every corner of the planet and orients us toward a future of promised progress, achievement and growth, but this future doesn’t exist – we just imagine it. This orientation to the future also blinds us to what exists around us, to the plants and animals with which we share the Earth and to the rivers that flow through our lands. Rivers are not just resources to be exploited by us or channels to carry away our ...

Aprenda a amar com uma das lideranças religiosas mais corajosas e amorosas do país O amor é uma das virtudes fundamentais do cristianismo. É também uma característica essencial de Deus. Mas o que significa o amor cristão? Como o Evangelho o define? E quais são suas implicações práticas para a vida neste mundo, neste contexto histórico? Amor à maneira de Deus sugere respostas a essas questões. Em cinco capítulos, o Padre Júlio Lancellotti apresenta ao leitor o amor divino como um exercício de compaixão e de misericórdia. Aqui, o amor não é um sentimento, mas um compromisso. Não é exercício de força, mas demonstração de fraqueza. Não é uma abstração ingênua, mas a escolha de humanizar a vida dos vulneráveis e também dos poderosos. A partir de meditações bíblicas centralizadas na pessoa de Jesus, e também com base em suas experiências pessoais e ministeriais, Padre Júlio apresenta uma visão renovada sobre amor que se faz extremamente necessária. Jesus vivia o amor na história, em meio a interesses religiosos, econômicos e políticos. Agora, Padre Júlio convida a todos a fazer o mesmo.
