In Memento of the Living and the Dead (2019), Phillip Berryman recounts his experiences as a priest in a Panama City barrio starting in 1965 and in Central America (1976-80) as conflicts and repression arose in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and in the movement of resistance to Reagan administration policies in the region in the 1980s. His previous book Latin America at 200 was the outgrowth of adjunct teaching at Temple (1993-2011). Berryman is the author of The Religious Roots of Rebellion (1984) and Liberation Theology (1987, Temple University Press), and has published numerous reviews and articles in such journals as Commonweal, America, and The National Catholic Reporter.
