Product Description In Argentina, more so than elsewhere, the church's educational objective is basic to understanding its position in politics. In a broader context, the church's secular activities stem from its traditional role in Catholic Latin America and are related to strategies of the military and political parties. This book examines in detail two of the most contentious issues in Argentine history: catechism in the public schools and recognition of private universities. Politicians, Pupils, and Priests is vital reading for anyone concerned with the destiny of democracy in Latin America and, especially, the politics of Third World countries. Review The continuing controversy over the role of the Roman Catholic church in Argentine education has been frequently noted in writings on that country, but Leonard is the first to explore it in systematic fashion. She does so on the basis of a wide array of sources, from official documents to interviews, and with a conscientious effort to give all sides a fair hearing. The result will be of interest not just to Argentinists but to students of the Latin American church and education. (David Bushnell, Managing Editor, Hispanic American Historical Review) This book represents a valuable contribution to the scholarly literature regarding the political and educational role of the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America. The writing is clear and fluid, the ideas are well researched and documented, and the author's perspective seems unbiased and objective. (E. Mark Hanson, History of Education Quarterly) The value of 'Politicians, Pupils, and Priests' is that it treats education in the context of larger social and political developments, and specifically in the context of recent church history.
