Description

There’s a notion amongst some academics that Latin American Liberation Theology has had its day, a dream killed off by the Nicaraguan and Salvadoran revolutions, the 1989 demise of socialism and the “end of history” claims of the champions of capitalism. Alternatively on this book Petrella proves this to be an unwell-conceived notion, and shows that this theology may also be reinvented to bring its preferential option for the poor into the actual world. The actualisation of historical projects is conceivable by adopting the methods developed by the Brazilian champion of critical legal studies, Robert Unger. Doing so will entail the rejection of these theologians’ unitary concepts of a despised and rejected capitalism and a canonized and accepted socialism. Petrella argues for a reconstruction of these concepts and those of democracy and property too. He closely analyses the differences in democracy and capitalism as practised across the united states and Europe in improve for the reconstruction of these concepts bringing about far-reaching suggestions for the way forward for liberation theology.
