Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America
This book analyzes the rise of evangelical Christians in Latin American electoral politics, comparing six Latin American countries.
The Pentecostal World
The Pentecostal World provides a comprehensive and critical introduction to one of the most vibrant and diverse expressions of contemporary Christianity. Unlike many books on Pentecostalism, this collection of essays from all continents does not attempt to synthesize and simplify the movement’s inherent diversity and fragmented dispersion. Instead, the global flows of Pentecostalism are firmly grounded in local histories and expressions, as well as the various modes of their worldwide reproduction. The book thus argues for a new understanding of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements that accounts for the simultaneous processes of pluralization and homogenization in contemporary World Chris...
Lived Religion, Pentecostalism, and Social Activism in Authoritarian Chile
In Giving Life to the Faith, Joseph Florez explores Pentecostal social engagement as it was folded into the extraordinary circumstances of everyday life during the Chilean military dictatorship (1973 - 1990). Florez traces Pentecostal activism, commonly portrayed as politically aloof or inert, through the life stories of the believers themselves and uncovers the logics of survival, resistance, and belief that sustained their work in the face of ubiquitous state repression. Using archival materials and Pentecostal oral histories, Florez brings Pentecostals’ religious innovations and improvisations to the forefront of discussion and challenges observers of Latin American Pentecostalism to reconsider normative interpretations of the world’s fastest growing religious movement.

Evangélicos y socialismos (1930-1970)
Este libro desafía la percepción convencional de una incompatibilidad entre «evangélicos» y «socialismo». Explora la historia regional y chilena para mostrar que, a pesar de sus raíces políticas y sociales distintas, hubo una alianza entre ciertos sectores del mundo evangélico chileno y el socialismo. Esta conexión, que duró al menos tres décadas, se basó en la afinidad de la esperanza religiosa con las ideas revolucionarias de igualdad y fraternidad del socialismo. Aunque hubo conflictos internos debido a demandas de pureza ideológica, trabajaron juntos en beneficio de lo que consideraban el «pueblo». Este libro desafía la noción de que los evangélicos están inherentemente alineados con el conservadurismo y la derecha política. Resalta la existencia de grupos evangélicos que han luchado por los derechos sociales y políticos de los marginados, a menudo ocultando sus identidades religiosas por temor a ser vistos como «reaccionarios». Al mismo tiempo, insta al mundo político de izquierda a considerar alianzas con los evangélicos en lugar de verlos con sospecha.
Power in Powerlessness

La función de la música
El presente libro centra su atención en cuatro momentos de la narrativa chilena: el siglo XIX y la novela Martín Rivas de Alberto Blest Gana, las primeras décadas del siglo XX y la novela proletaria La Sangre y la esperanza de Nicomedes Guzmán, las décadas del sesenta y setenta y algunas de las narraciones de la generación de los novísimos: Poli Délano, Carlos Olivárez y Antonio Skármeta, y finalmente la narrativa de posdictadura en Antes de perder la memoria de Ana María Jiménez y Teresa Izquierdo. El objetivo del libro es exponer y analizar la función que cumple la música en las diversas representaciones del mundo. La hipótesis central es que la participación de la música deviene un elemento fundamental para iluminar diversos ángulos de significación social, cultural y artística que poseen los textos analizados.
