A Christian Liberationist Response to the Crisis at the United States-Mexico Border

Abstract

In this paper I will discuss the problem of violence related to the U.S.-Mexico drug trade as understood within the framework of political and economic globalization. This will require a brief overview of my political-theological method. I will then provide a liberationist theological reflection on the problem from a North American Christian perspective. In closing I will offer a short ethical analysis in light of this theological reasoning.
