Ok guys... sorry I'm a little late... I'm still having trouble with cursillos de cristinadad and foco movement (foquismo), so if you could help I'd appreciate it!

Umbanda- Afro-Brazilian religion that mixes teachings of Alan Kardec's Spiritism, Catholicism, and sects brought by the African slaves. It came along towards the end of the 19th century as a way for rival communities to come together. They practice "White Sorcery," rituals used to improve people's lives and practice goodness, but never to harm people.

Kardec- A Parisian Spiritualist that began to receive messages through a medium from a "Druid" spirit who identified himself as Allen Kardec. He formed Spiritism, which combined the evolution of 19th centure Positivism with Christian beliefs and Hindu notions of reincarnation.

Che Guevarra- A Marxist who equated revolution with socialism. In 1967, he began guerilla warfare in Bolivia and aided the global revolutionary struggle by creating "two, three, many Vietmans."

Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path)- The Communist Party of Peru formed by Abimael Guzman. He turned young demonstrators into fanatical soldiers. It emerged over access to free education and used violenve as both a political strategy and a military tactic.
