Across nineteenth-century Europe, the emergence of constitutional and democratic nation-states was accompanied by intense conflict between Catholics and anti-clerical forces. At its peak, this conflict touched virtually every sphere of social life: schools, universities, the press, marriage and gender relations, burial rites, associational culture, the control of public space, folk memory and the symbols of nationhood. In short, these conflicts were 'culture wars', in which the values and collective practices of modern life were at stake. These 'culture wars' have generally been seen as a chapter in the history of specific nation-states. Yet it has recently become increasingly clear that the Europe of the mid- and later nineteenth century should be seen as a common politico-cultural space. This book breaks with the conventional approach by setting developments in specific states within a trans-national context, offering a fresh and revealing perspective on one of modernity's formative conflicts.

Jesus the Liberator by Jon Sobrino is a tightly argued, passionate introduction to basic premises of Liberation Theology. Even with very difficult theological concepts, the author makes the matter understandable for those of us who are not professionals. When he treats of the Passion and Death of Jesus and the silence of the Father, he is almost poetic and most convincing. He is a person who shows that he has lived with and worked with those who have and are suffering and his affection for them is almost tangible. One very important by'product of the reading, I feel, is that one sees the necessity of being very much on top of the political and economic realities of one´s own country and of the other players in the globalization of the world. Not to be so is really for Sobrino, I feel, to be less religous than we are all called to be. I cannot recommend the book enough. It gets one thinking of everyday reality with new eyes and new understanding.
