Negative Positive
Title: New Orleans History
Review: This book probably only appeals to those who lived through the Catholic school desegregation turbulence in New Orleans. Written by a Jesuit with access to the Jesuit community documents, it provides a window into the thinking of New Orleans southerners with emphasis on Loyola University. The divisions among the Jesuits at Loyola and across the city in the face of desegregation were amazingly deep, especially compared with those at Spring Hill College in Mobile, another Jesuit college in the same province. It is frightening to learn how deeply rooted the racial heritage of religious and educators really was.
Is the review positive or negative?
