Autorenporträt
Despite government harassment, Bishop Claver refused either to move or to be quiet. A native Filipino Jesuit and member of the fiercely independent Bontoc Igorot tribal group, he was an anthropologist by profession. He lectured widely on human rights in Ireland and the United States, and was a member of the Vatican Commission for Non-Believers.
