Competitive Spirits
Latin America's New Religious Economy
Gebonden Engels 2003 9780195161847Samenvatting
R. Andrew Chesnut shows how the development of religious pluralism over the past half-century has radically transformed the "spiritual economy" of Latin America. Three religious groups, he demonstrates, have proven to be the most skilled competitors in the new unregulated religious economy. Protestant Pentecostalism, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and African diaspora religions such as Brazilian Candomble and Haitian Voodoo have emerged as the most profitable religious producers. Chesnut explores the general effects of a free market, such as the introduction of consumer taste and product specialization, and shows how they have played out in the Latin American context. Moving beyond the Pentecostal boom and the rise and fall of liberation theology, Chesnut provides a fascinating portrait of the Latin American religious landscape.
