  • Needs of the Heart

    Joan Meznar, Joan E MeznarARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2008

    The political activism of Brazilian priests in the 1960s and 1970s renewed scholarly interest in the links between faith and politics in Latin America’s largest nation. In his most recent contribution to scholarship on the church in Brazil, Kenneth Serbin situates the actions of twentieth-century clergymen within a broad historical context. Needs of the Heart thus provides a rich analysis of the historical development of the Catholic Church in Br…

  • The Brazilian Republic

    Open AccessJoan E MeznarARTICLEThe Americas A Quarterly Review…1991

In some ways Brazil itself had changed profoundly during the empire; yet in others it remained deeply rooted to its colonial past. The tension between …
