Cry of the people : the struggle for human rights in Latin America - the Catholic Church in conflict with U.S. policy / Penny Lernoux. - New York : Penguin Books, 1982. - xxiv, 535 pages : illustrations, maps ; 20 cm.
Includes glossary and index.
"In this lucid, passionate book Penny Lernoux demonstrates that the metamorphosis of the traditionally conservative Catholic Church is the most significant development in Latin America since the Cuban revolution. From El Salvador to Argentina, concerned clergy are speaking out, and governmental response has been swift and ruthless-hundreds of activists have become martyrs to the cause of human rights.
Cry of the People is a compelling account of what is happening all over Latin America today, based on accounts of both witnesses and victims. It is also a powerful indictment of U.S. policy there and of our silent complicity in the activities of totalitarian regimes."
