Life in Peru
With a geography that encompasses desert, highland and jungle, Peru is relentlessly touted
as a land of contrasts. This also applies to the lives of its people: the country is a mix of
rich and poor, modern and ancient, agricultural and urban, indigenous and white. Day-to-
day existence can be difficult - but it can also be profoundly rich. For centuries, this has
been the story of life in Peru.
It was a Peruvian priest, Gustavo GutiƩrrez, who
first articulated the principles of liberation theology
- the theory that links Christian thought to social
justice - in 1971. He now teaches in the United
States.
