The Religion of Life
The Religion of Life examines the interconnections and relationship between Catholicism and eugenics in early twentieth-century Chile. Specifically, it demonstrates that the popularity of eugenic science was not diminished by the influence of Catholicism there. In fact, both eugenics and Catholicism worked together to construct the concept of a unique Chilean race, la raza chilena. A major factor that facilitated this conceptual overlap was a generalized belief among historical actors that male and female gender roles were biologically determined and therefore essential to a functioning society. As the first English-language study of eugenics in Chile, The Religion of Life surveys a wide variety of different materials (periodicals, newspapers, medical theses, and monographs) produced by Catholic and secular intellectuals from the first half of the twentieth century. What emerges from this examination is not only a more complex rendering of the relationship between religion and science but also the development of White supremacist logics in a Latin American context.

La religión en letra de molde
El presente libro tiene por objetivo el estudio sobre las transformaciones que supuso en el plano de la religión, la ampliación de la lectura y la cultura impresa durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en Chile. A partir de tres pilares temáticos fundamentales, la investigación intenta dar cuenta cómo la religión católica decimonónica quedó impresa en letra de molde. Estas aristas son: el estudio del discurso y la representación que la Iglesia católica diocesana de Santiago construyó sobre la lectura y los lectores; el análisis del Corpus de los variados impresos católicos producidos en Chile durante el período; y los registros de los textos que solicitaron la licencia de impresión eclesiástica.
