| Summary: | "A well-documented, impressively written study of Waldensian immigration to Uruguay. Hardworking and pious without being fanatical, the Waldensians came to the Plata in the mid-19th century to escape the poverty of their Piedmontese villages, and proceeded to establish a series of prosperous agricultural colonies along the río Uruguay. As the author indicates, these settlements were models of social cohesion, where school and church played equal roles in everyday life"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58 |
