Call Number: JG/ 080AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Recorded in October 1990, Blase Bonpane uses the example of Liberation Theology to illustrate the need for a separation of media and state, or media and power. Uses misrepresentation of Liberation Theology, exemplified by October 9, 1990 LA Times article, "The Cross and The Gun" by Kenneth Freed, as a framework in which to discuss media as advocates of the agenda for the affluent. Bonpane discusses liberation theology from the perspective of the poor, focusing on Central American cases, which sharply contrasts the representation of it in the article. Discussion of media acceptance of institutional violence and Imperial Theology, and its rejection of oppressed people's response to institutional violence and liberation theology. Defines Liberation Theology as based on human need, not advocating violence and in opposition to Imperial Theology which advocates the relationship between the cross and gun or cross and crown.
