A Penny a Copy: Readings from the Catholic Worker - 8389

For over sixty years The Catholic Worker has served as the organ of a movement that has joined the spirituality of the Gospels with a radical engagement in the pressing social issues of the twentieth century. Founded in 1933 by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, The Catholic Worker reflected the editors' day-to-day solidarity with the poor and commitment to nonviolent social change. This expanded edition of A Penny a Copy draws on writings from The Catholic Worker to provide a chronicle of this unique movement, its founding and growth, and its courageous grappling with such issues as poverty, homelessness, war, civil disobedience, as well as the Works of Mercy, the spirit of hospitality, community, and the editors' efforts to imagine and construct "a new society in the shell of the old."
