Summary: "Fr. John J. Carroll, S.J., writes both as a priest and as a social scientist, in full awareness of the problems that may crop up when two such potentially contradictory roles are combined. But he unfailingly weaves then into one another with rigor and grace. He is an intellectual warrior in a battle zone, and offers no apologies for going beyond mere observation and academic analysis. These articles are elegantly wrought in anger, compassion, and courage-in the true tradition of that maverick sociologist, C. Wright Mills." -Randy David, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of the Philippines (Source: http://www.ateneo.edu/ateneopress/index.php)
