The continuing controversy over the role of the Roman Catholic church in Argentine education has been frequently noted in writings on that country, but Leonard is the first to explore it in systematic fashion. She does so on the basis of a wide array of sources, from official documents to interviews, and with a conscientious effort to give all sides a fair hearing. The result will be of interest not just to Argentinists but to students of the Latin American church and education. (David Bushnell, Managing Editor, Hispanic American Historical Review) This book represents a valuable contribution to the scholarly literature regarding the political and educational role of the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America. The writing is clear and fluid, the ideas are well researched and documented, and the author's perspective seems unbiased and objective. (E. Mark Hanson, History of Education Quarterly) The value of 'Politicians, Pupils, and Priests' is that it treats education in the context of larger social and political developments, and specifically in the context of recent church history. (Ivan Jaksic, Hispanic American Historical Review)
