Review:

"Erin Brigham's See, Judge, Act . . . applies key principles in Catholic social thought . . . to contemporary concerns. Vignettes show how students grapple with racism and white privilege, immigration, unemployment, living wage and workers rights, poverty and economic justice, war and peace making, climate change, environmental racism, and other issues in service activities."
--Lois Ann Lorentzen, University of San Francisco
"Erin Brigham provides an accessible introduction to the riches of the Catholic social tradition for twenty-first-century students. . . . The reflection questions, summaries, and vignettes in each chapter situate Catholic social teaching as a living tradition . . . [and encourage students] to reflect upon the assumptions and values that influence their interpretations of social issues and their practices of responsible action."
--Jennifer Reed-Bouley, College of Saint Mary
