Ricardo D. Cubas Ramacciotti, (Ph.D., Cambridge, 2013) (Licentiate, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 1998) is Associate Professor of Latin American History at the Universidad de los Andes (Chile) and has published on various aspects of Latin American political and religious history.

"Ricardo Daniel Cubas Ramacciotti’s well-researched study (...) this specialized monograph establishes the Church’s indispensability to Peruvian identity as well as specific agenda items and ample bibliography for further research." - Ruth Chojnacki, De Paul University, in: The Catholic Historical Review 104:3 (2018)"(...) Cubas Ramacciotti presents a cogent analysis that elucidates new aspects of the processes of adjustment and “revival” experienced by Peruvian Catholicism during the reform of Church-state relations. Written in accessible language, The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935) promises to be compelling reading for students and graduate scholars interested in the study of secularization and the social history of the Catholic Church in Latin America." - Noah Oehri, University of Bern, in: Reading Religion, 17 September 2018"This well-researched monograph helps to fill gaps in historians’ understanding of the rise of liberation theology in Peru." - Cameron D.
