by Robert Ellsberg (Editor), Dorothy Day (Author)
*Advance Praise & Reviews*
"Ellsberg's careful editing highlights Dorothy Day's moral clarity and spiritual depth during the upheavals of the 1960s. A valuable contribution to understanding her legacy."-- National Catholic Reporter
A chronicle of faith and action through a decade of protest, idealism, and change.
Through Dorothy Day's monthly "On Pilgrimage" columns from The Catholic Worker, this volume offers a unique chronicle on the 1960s, a tumultuous decade marked by the Cuban Revolution, Vatican II, the struggle for Civil Rights, Vietnam protests, the rise of the United Farmworkers, and dramatic cultural change.
Day surveyed these developments from the vantage point of her life among the poor, her life-long struggle for peace and justice, and her daily efforts to seek God in her everyday life. For those wondering what Day would be doing today, this volume--drawn from a decade that in many ways mirrors our own--provides an invaluable guide.
