1968: A historiography of a New Reformation in Latin America

This book explores the ideological, social and religious changes triggered within Latin America at that time and particularly those that were the result of the 1968 meeting of bishops in Medellín, Colombia. That meeting included the papal visit of Paul VI to Colombia (the first papal visit to Latin America), the influential standby for the poor and the marginalized by the Jesuits of Latin America as well as the growing sense of a new process of ‘revolution in freedom’ that was taking place in Chile with the ever-growing support for the socialist project of the president-to-be Salvador Allende.
