Summary:"This is a scholarly study of culture and sociability in Colombia during the period c. 1850 to 1930. Patricia Londono-Vega gives a vivid picture of some of the factors that reduced social distances in the region of Antioquia and its capital. Medellin, during this period of relative harmony and prosperity. She examines hundreds of the groups and voluntary associations that flourished at this time and brought together a growing number of Antioquenos of different social backgrounds around religious practices and societies, the exercise of charity, a concern for education, and the pursuit of cultural progress." "The book describes the crucial role played by religion and the Catholic Church, which underwent considerable growth after the turbulent period of mid-nineteenth century Liberal reforms until the end of the Conservative era in 1930. It traces the progress of parishes, devotional associations, religious communities, private and public religiosity, and numerous philanthropic societies."--BOOK JACKET.
