Landscapes of Liberation

Mission and Development in Peru’s Southern Highlands, 1958 – 1988

2023 || Hardcover || Noah Oehri || Leuven University Press

Catholic mission from the mid-20th century onwards was complicated by geopolitical upheaval, church reform, and the emergent critique of the colonial power matrix to which the Church belonged.
