Down from the Hill: Ateneo De Manila in the First Ten Years Under Martial Law, 1972-1982

The essays in this book, the first on Ateneo de Manila University during martial law, deal with the student movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then with actions, conflicts, and unities within the school. Subsequent chapters cover student publications, organizations, and ideological involvements. Other sections of the book highlight the participation of faculty, administration, social development professionals, and the Jesuit community in university activism. The last chapter serves as an epilogue, linking the deepening social involvement of the Ateneo of the 1970s with the political struggles of the early 1980s.
