U.S. Central Americans: Reconstructing Memories, Struggles, and Communities of Resistance eds. by Karina O. Alvarado, Alicia Ivonne Estrada, and Ester E. Hernández (review)
Nonetheless, Wilde and his contributors have constructed a volume that combines analytical breadth and depth, with shared themes that hold the chapters together well. The result is a rather nuanced comparative text—an unusual achievement in an edited collection of this kind. It offers a compelling treatment of the social impacts of a handful of religious institutions and individuals who have worked, and continue working, to mitigate violence in many places across the Latin America region.
