Description: "Analyzes role of Catholic Church in two regional social movements during 1970s and 1980s, providing historical and theoretical context and detailed descriptions. Contends that Church's involvement performed dual function of preserving Church's influence in a changing social arena, while strengthening the movements by giving their demands greater coherence and plausibility"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
