Translated from the Italian by Lisa Sergio. 286 pages. paperback. MT608. Cover design by Henry Wolf. keywords: Religion Politics Resistance. DESCRIPTION - THE NEW MESSIAH is usually a 'native' who has had close associations with the boss-class Europeans. He has learnt their tricks and admired their gadgets and he hates their guts. The gospel he preaches. assures the faithful that the day of the Lord is at hand, when all manner of blessings shall be their reward and the evil oppressors shall be blotted out.' - The New Statesman. RELIGIONS OF THE OPPRESSED is the first comprehensive study of the prophetic religions of liberation that have flamed across the modern world, from the Peyote cult of the American Indian to the Mau Mau of the Kikuyu. 'This is no lunatic fringe Lanternari describes on every continent - this is mankind - in desperate straits - trying desperately, sometimes pitifully. to find a solution.' - Des Moines Tribune. This author prefers the historical approach by means of which it is possible to explain the religious phenomenon and therefore to justify it. To justify a religious movement means to explain its nature, its function, and its genesis as well as its internal and external dynamics due, respectively, to factors inherent in the culture and to the impact from other cultures and external forces. This author's approach is based on the concept that it is not possible to envision an authentic history of religion outside the broad scope of the culture by which it is encompassed. This is a book of religious history, planned as a study of the relationship between religious and secular life as it develops within the general pattern of a civilization. A religious phenomenon may be explained only in so far as it is possible to trace its historical origin and development and to analyze it systematically in relation to concrete secular conditions. inventory #42838. …
