Reviews
Provides an invaluable perspective-or more accurately, perspectives, since more than one hundred lawyers contributed to the volume. These men and women, all working for nothing, have gained intimate access to those whom the United States sought to keep hidden behind strictly closed doors….The stories these lawyers have been able to tell, adroitly edited by Mark Denbeaux and Jonathan Hafetz, offer a multifaceted portrait of life on the base.&8221; - New York Review of Books ,|9780814767320|, "This exploration of Latin American religious history is broad yet detailed. Like the region, religious views in this compilation are varied and diverse. Ranging from indigenous and colonial times to contemporary forays into Buddhism and Mormonism, the book explores all of the region's major religious movements to provide a thorough introduction and summary. . . . this work's scope and breadth likely will make it an important textbook for Latin American studies as well as an excellent introduction to the topic for any reader." -Choice, "Peterson and Vasquez are not just experts on Latin America but also masters of cutting-edge theoretical issues in the study of religion." - Catholic Historical Review ,, "A truly impressive achievement.

Before this reader, no book existed to introduce students to the complex sweep of religions and religious history in Latin America. Latin American Religions fills this yawning gap admirably. Gone is the idea that all Latin Americans are Catholic. . . . We learn about indigenous traditions, the African diaspora, Catholicism, Protestantism, other alternative Christianities, and various world religions. This book should prove a must for any introductory course on Latin America, or for any individuals-beginning or advanced-who wish to deepen their knowledge of the continent." - Kay A. Read, Saint Vincent DePaul Professor of Religious Studies, DePaul University, "Perhaps the appeal to enlightened national interest was the best strategic means of accelerating the end of Guantánamo; but it necessarily de-emphasized in the public discourse the great cost imposed on the detainees. The many stories told in The Guantánamo Lawyers, which make Guantánamo's human cost much more tangible, go some way towards redressing this."-Concurring Opinions,, ("A new and remarkable book... made up of the written accounts by more than a hundred of the lawyers who provide detailed accounts of their meetings with their clients inside the prison... an informative and telling chronicle of what Guantanamo is really like...")-(The New York Times),(), "A truly impressive achievement.

Read, Saint Vincent DePaul Professor of Religious Studies, DePaul University, "The most compelling reason to readis that the legal questions created by Guantanamo have not yet been fully resolved. President Obama's promise to close the prison has so far gone unfulfilled, and John Paul Stevens, who will perhaps be remembered more for his writings on Guantanamo than any other subject, will leave the Court at the end of this term. No matter how the Guantanamo question is resolved, historians will no doubt benefit from Denbeaux and Hafetz's excellent book."-Tyler D.

Need Better Packaging, book was shipped only in plastic bag with no padding or protection. One corner poked through package and was slightly bent. Book was used and in condition as described and expected, even with the bent corner. Have bought books before from this seller and they were packed better. I am a giving a neutral response hoping other buyers are aware of the somewhat poor and inconsistent packaging from seller as that is what feedback is for.
