Miguel A. De La Torre Knihy

De La Torre sa zameriava na etiku v súčasnom americkom myslení, predovšetkým na to, ako náboženstvo ovplyvňuje útlak na základe rasy, triedy a pohlavia. Jeho práca sa vyznačuje aplikáciou sociálno-vedného prístupu k latinskoamerickej religiozite v USA, oslobodeneckých teológií v Latinskej Amerike a postmoderných/postkoloniálnych sociálnych teórií. De La Torre skúma, ako náboženské presvedčenie formuje sociálnu spravodlivosť a identitu v rôznych komunitách. Jeho analytický prístup ponúka hlboký vhľad do zložitých vzťahov medzi vierou, kultúrou a sociálnymi štruktúrami.
