The Globalization of Hope is the fruit of eight years of work by EPICA staff on Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The book charts a difficult transition in Central America from popular struggles for liberation to local struggles for survival. Neoliberalism's impact on the poor is examined, as is the struggle of the poor to develop a global alternative. The emergence of new social movements is highlighted, from the struggle for indigenous autonomy in Chiapas to the empowerment of women in the global economy. Human rights violations in Honduras and the victimization of Panamanians during the US invasion are discussed. The legacy of US intervention in Haiti and Cuba is outlined, as is the poltical economy of US-Mexican border policy. A final section highlights the need for a globalization from below.

We Make The Road By Walking is the fruit of eight years  of work by EPICA staff on Central America, Mexico and the  Caribbean. The book examines the role of liberation theology in the  new international context. It looks at the Church of the poor in a  postwar period in Nicargaua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The indigenous  face of the Church in Chiapas and the way women are transforming the  Church are highlighted. The defense of the rights of the poor in El  Salvador and recovery of historic memory in Guatemala offer hope and  challenge. The role of Haiti's "Little Church," and the new  relationship between Church and State in Cuba are outlined. The final  two sections illuminate the witness of martyrs, and they call for  solidarity for the new millennium, especially the Jubilee drive to  cancel debts.
