The Struggle is One : Voices and Visions of Liberation

A powerful blend of testimony and photography that brings the lived faith of liberation theology in Brazil vividly to life through the voices of those at its heart. In this powerful and deeply human work, Mev Puleo opens a rare window into the heart of liberation theology in Brazil—where faith is not abstract doctrine but lived struggle. Through striking photography and intimate interviews, The Struggle is One brings forward the voices of people often unheard: from the favelas and rural communities to bishops, theologians, and activists shaping a radical vision of Christian faith rooted in justice, dignity, and hope. More than a study, The Struggle is One is an encounter. Each chapter offers a "living human document," weaving together story, spirituality, and resistance. Puleo’s lens captures both suffering and resilience, revealing a faith that emerges not from comfort, but from solidarity with the oppressed. Featuring conversations with Maria da Silva Miguel, Frei Betto, Leonardo Boff, Ivone Gebara, Bishop Pedro Casaldáliga, and many others, this work stands as a landmark testimony to a theology born in the streets, the fields, and the communities of struggle.（State University of New York Press）
