Beskrivning

A Social History of Cuba’s Protestants: God and the Nation presents a religious and social history of Cuba, focusing on the Presbyterian and other Protestant churches, to show the continuity of ties between US and Cuban churches before and after the revolution in 1959. By examining the history of Cuba’s Protestants as agents of social change within Cuba and as partners with US denominations, James A. Baer offers a unique assessment of Cuba’s development as a nation and its relationship with the United States. Scholars of Latin American studies, religion, history, and social movements will find this book particularly useful.

Recensioner i media

The book’s range from the wars for independence through the present is a strength as it allows Baer to analyze the question of Cuban Protestantism vis-à-vis the pressing social and political questions of each era and to consider how Protestants’ commitments have changed Cuba and have changed over time. . . . Baer’s work adds to the body of scholarship on religion and religious practice in Cuba in ways that illuminate how they intersected with social and political change.
