Ishi means man / Thomas Merton ; foreword by Dorothy Day ; woodblock by Rita Corbin.

Summary:

This thoughtful collection of Merton's essays on various Native American cultures provides a valuable window on Merton's important work raising consciousness about the key social justice issues confronting the world in his later years--issues that continue to have a profound impact on our world today. With references to the civil rights movement and the United States war in Vietnam, Merton draws parallels from history and the modern world to show the deep-rooted nature of society's injustice. In 'Ishi Means Man', Merton's commitment to interreligious, intercultural understanding is the powerful overarching theme that continues to inspire. (Back cover).
