Mission to Haiti, Ecuador and Chile

Beschreibung

Claude Lacaille witnessed up close the oppression and poverty in Haiti, Ecuador, and Chile where dictators and predatory imperialists ruled. Like other advocates of Liberation Theology, he saw it as his duty to join the resistance. This is the story of Claude Lacaille's experience from 1965 to 1986 in the slums and squats in the Caribbean and South America and also what it really means to have a preferential option for the poor.
