Overview

One man's 70-year odyssey across three continents in a search for identity, justice, and the road only he could build. Born into the wreckage of post-Civil War Spain, Saturnino ""Nino"" Rodríguez began a life-altering journey at age twelve, leaving his small village to join a silent monastery. From the rigid discipline of Spain to the vibrant culture of Peru and his ultimate transformation into a fierce community activist in America, Pathmaker is a soul-stirring exploration of the question: ""Who am I?"". Masterfully weaving memoir with the philosophy of Antonio Machado, Rodríguez shares an intimate look at the immigrant experience, feeling like an ""intruder"" and finding a voice for the ""forsaken"". This isn't just a life story; it's a roadmap for anyone navigating their own ""road that is made by walking"". In this book, you will discover: The Hidden History: A rare perspective on growing up in Franco-era Spain and serving as a Christian Brother in the Andes of Peru. The Activist's Heart: How a PhD and educator became a leader in the Chicano movement in Michigan, fighting for the dignity of migrant families. Spiritual Evolution: A deep, intellectual reflection on the ""ebb and flow"" of spirituality across seven decades. ""Life cannot be understood backwards; it must be lived forwards."" - Kierkegaard.
