Bibliography
Gustavo Morello, SJ is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Boston College. He is the author of The Catholic Church and Argentinas Dirty War.
"Privileging the voices of the poor, Morello shows us that there is
far more religion in their everyday lives than the 'modern' world
might expect, even if it is not necessarily the religion the
churches might wish. This brilliant exploration of lived religious
practices in three Latin American cities - across both private and
public life -- is a must read for those who seek to understand the
breadth of contemporary religious expression in the world" --

T. Ammerman, author of Sacred Stories, Spiritual Tribes: Finding
Religion in Everyday Life
"Gustavo Morello's engaging book digs deep into the particularities
of everyday, lived religious practices in Latin America and in
doing so compellingly illuminates the persistent, embodied appeal
of the sacred as a dynamic personal and political resource amid the
evolving legacy of modernity and the challenges and possibilities
it presents." -- Michele Dillon, author of Postsecular Catholicism:
Relevance and Renewal
