The Life Of Blessed Martin De Porres: Saintly American Negro And Patron Of Social Justice is a book written by J.C. Kearns that tells the story of Martin de Porres, a Dominican lay brother who lived in Peru during the 16th century. Martin de Porres was born to a Spanish father and a free black mother, and faced discrimination throughout his life due to his mixed-race heritage. Despite this, he became known for his piety, charity, and healing abilities, and is now recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. The book explores Martin de Porres' life in detail, from his childhood to his death, and highlights his many acts of kindness and devotion. It also delves into the social and political context of his time, including the impact of slavery and racism on the lives of people of color in Latin America. The author emphasizes Martin de Porres' commitment to social justice and his advocacy for the poor and marginalized, making him a relevant figure for contemporary discussions about race and inequality. Overall, The Life Of Blessed Martin De Porres: Saintly American Negro And Patron Of Social Justice is a compelling biography that sheds light on an important historical figure and his enduring legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
