Summary: | The article attempts to examine the contemporary Catholic missionary movement in Latin America in light of a new reading of Ivan Illich's controversial article, “The Seamy Side of Charity,” written in 1967. Contributions by the American missioner to the renewal of the Latin-American church and the raising of missionary consciousness are highlighted. These contributions stem from particular commitments to the poor in the peripheral areas of Latin America, and reveal aspects of the American national character in overseas cross-cultural mission. |
