Miguel A. De La Torre (Livres)

Miguel A. De La Torre Livres

L'axe de recherche de De La Torre porte sur l'éthique dans la pensée contemporaine américaine, examinant en particulier comment la religion impacte l'oppression liée à la race, la classe et le genre. Son travail applique une approche scientifique sociale à la religiosité latino/a aux États-Unis, aux théologies de la libération en Amérique latine et à la théorie sociale postmoderne/postcoloniale. Il enquête sur la manière dont les croyances religieuses façonnent la justice sociale et l'identité au sein de communautés diverses. Son approche analytique offre des aperçus profonds sur l'interaction complexe de la foi, de la culture et des structures sociales.
