Overview

Presente develops a lived theology of nonviolence through an extended case study of the movement to close the School of the Americas (also known as the SOA or WHINSEC). It analyzes how the presence of the dead--a presence proclaimed at the annual vigil of the School of the Americas Watch--shapes a distinctive, transnational, nonviolent movement. The book argues that such a messianic political theology devolves into neither violence nor sectarianism but generates practical reasoning. By developing this messianism in dialogue with the SOA Watch movement, the work contributes to the field of political theology by exploring the political implications of the resurrection of the dead. It contributes to studies of strategic nonviolence and civil resistance by demonstrating how religious and moral dynamics remain an essential part of such struggles.
