Review Quotes:
This superb collection of essays is strongly recommended to anyone interested in the history and distinctive identity of the Society of Jesus evolving out of Renaissance humanism. It also provides a timely caution for anyone interested in globalisation, especially in light of what Pankaj Mishra has recently called the 'Globalization of Rage'. Nationalist populism evokes the initial quandary of negotiating self-identity stated in this collection's introduction.
