Overview

In The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) Ricardo Cubas Ramacciotti provides a lucid synthesis of the Catholic Church’s responses to the secularisation of the State and society whilst offering a fresh appraisal of the emergence of Social Catholicism and its contribution to social thought and development of civil society in post-independence Peru. Making use of diverse historical sources, Cubas provides a comprehensive view of a reformist yet anti-revolutionary trend within the Peruvian Church that, decades before the emergence of Liberation Theology and under divergent intellectual paradigms, developed an active agenda that addressed the new social problems of the country, including those of urban workers, and of indigenous populations.

Reviews

Ricardo Daniel Cubas Ramacciotti's well-researched study (...) this specialized monograph establishes the Church's indispensability to Peruvian identity as well as specific agenda items and ample bibliography for further research. - Ruth Chojnacki, De Paul University, The Catholic Historical Review 104, no 3, 2018. (...) Cubas Ramacciotti presents a cogent analysis that elucidates new aspects of the processes of adjustment and revival experienced by Peruvian Catholicism during the reform of Church-state relations. Written in accessible language, The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) promises to be compelling reading for students and graduate scholars interested in the study of secularization and the social history of the Catholic Church in Latin America. - Noah Oehri, University of Bern, Reading Religion, 17 September 2018. This well-researched monograph helps to fill gaps in historians' understanding of the rise of liberation theology in Peru. - Cameron D. Jones, California Pylotechnic State University, The Americas 76, March 2019.
