Description: This book focuses on discovering particular moral and theological virtues of the oppressed embodied in their daily practices of survival, resistance, and flourishing.

Brief description: Wonchul Shin is Catherine of Siena Teaching Scholar in the ethics program at Villanova University.

Review Quotes: In this book, Wonchul Shin shows himself to be a careful and compassionate social ethicist. Deeply attentive to the Korean context, Shin brings needed nuance to his analysis of social movements that grow out of, but resist glorifying, suffering. In our age of growing authoritarianism, Shin offers us inspiring stories of resistance.
