Um andarilho entre duas fidelidades: religião e sociedade
Perto de completar 80 anos, quase todos dedicados a pensar e praticar os melhores ensinamentos da religião e das ciências sociais, Luiz Alberto Gómez de Souza nos surpreende ao publicar estas memórias. Amigos, encontros, embates, aprendizados, vida privada, vida pública, chegadas e partidas constituem a espinha dorsal desse itinerário, sempre pautado pelo esforço de fazer convergirem para um só caminho a perspectiva cristã e o desenvolvimento social amplo. Com o mesmo espírito apaixonado que o levou a lutar pelas grandes causas, Luiz Alberto nos conta aqui, de modo simples, os pequenos detalhes ou as grandes tramas que definiram o seu itinerário nos principais acontecimentos do seu tempo.
Religious Conflict in Brazil
The story of how Brazilian Catholics and Protestants confronted one of the greatest shocks to the Latin American religious system in its 500-year history This innovative study explores the transition in Brazil from a hegemonically Catholic society to a religiously pluralistic society.

Liberation Theology and the Others
Looking beyond prominent figures or major ecclesial events, Liberation Theology and the Others offers a fresh historical perspective on Latin American liberation theology. Thirteen case studies, from Mexico to Uruguay, depict a vivid picture of religious and lay activism that shaped the profile of the Latin American Catholic Church in the second half of the 20th century. Stressing the transnational character of Catholic activism and its intersections with prevalent discourses of citizenship, ethnicity or development, scholars from Latin America, the US, and Europe, analyze how pastoral renewal was debated and embraced in multiple local and culturally diverse contexts. Contributors explore th...
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
