Miguel A. De La Torre Libri

Il focus accademico di De La Torre risiede nell'etica all'interno del pensiero contemporaneo statunitense, esaminando in particolare come la religione influenzi l'oppressione legata a razza, classe e genere. Il suo lavoro applica un approccio scientifico sociale alla religiosità latino/a negli Stati Uniti, alle teologie della liberazione in America Latina e alla teoria sociale postmoderna/postcoloniale. Indaga come le credenze religiose plasmino la giustizia sociale e l'identità all'interno di comunità diverse. Il suo approccio analitico offre profonde intuizioni sulla complessa interazione tra fede, cultura e strutture sociali.
