Reveals the workings of a mind that was probing and humane, wide-ranging in interests and passionate in concerns, and dedicated with a rare combination of intelligence and heroism to the challenge his work sets forth to construct a new person in a new society. -- Noam Chomsky, MIT

These essays touch on religion as a tool of ideology, the meaning
of work and the way in which reality becomes fragmented in a
politically repressed society… Those who worked to bring forth
these essays have added a measure of justice to his life.
*Boston Globe*
Martín-Baró’s essays are…characterized by a concreteness and a
passion for justice, and they offer tremendous insights into
Salvadoran society as well as the struggle for liberation.
*Human Rights Quarterly*
Adrianne Aron and Shawn Corne’s excellent introduction
contextualizes the volume, both within the Salvadoran peasant
communities with whom much of Martín-Baró’s work was developed and
within the academic/intellectual communities to whom it is
addressed. The chapters are organized around three major themes,
which are, arguably, the major dimensions along which Martín-Baró’s
work developed: political psychology, war and trauma, and
‘de-ideologizing’ reality. The selections demonstrate his
contributions to social psychology as well as his intense
involvement in the social reality of his adoptive country, El
Salvador… [This is an] excellent volume. It is required reading for
psychologists seeking a more critical psychology—one that takes
responsibility for its social position and privilege, and
challenges the status quo. It is an equally important resource for
those who seek ideas and examples for developing ‘indigenous
psychology’ from the base of marginalized people’s lives, in
coalition with them.
