evangelicals and gangs in El Salvador
Summary
'Blood Entanglements' shows the importance of religion in gang-controlled neighbourhoods in El Salvador through extensive empirical data and the personal stories of people who live there. Stephen Offutt uses the notion of 'entanglement' to explain how and why evangelicals have such frequent and often intimate interactions with gangs, which are groups that many evangelicals believe are evil. Entanglement, he shows, also sheds light on how evangelicals engage with Latin American society and social problems more generally.--, Provided by publisher
