The paired TED talk
What I discovered in New York City trash (2013), the TED talk by Robin Nagle.
From the publisher
Compact anthropological case study of liberation theology in a shantytown parish of Recife under a conservative bishop. Uses 1991 dispute over the feast of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception to elicit conflicting narratives over relationship between religion, social life, and politics. Interesting emphasis on expression of social and political tensions in church ritual
