Review Quotes:
"...highly recommend[ed] ... to all those who have been challenged by Illich's writing over the years, and to anyone who would like to be introduced to the works of someone whose friends so appreciated being challenged by his words and deeds that they published a book in his honour even before he died." - Environments
"This is an excellent summary of how the life and ideas of Ivan Illich, one of the most iconoclastic and brilliant public intellectuals of the twentieth century, influenced the lives and careers of important philosophers, scholars, and social activists. The personal narratives illuminate the impact of Illich's ideas in the spheres of religion, education, and grassroots social movements." - Robert F. Arnove, coeditor of Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local
