For Faith and Fortune : The Education of Catholic Immigrants in Detroit, 1805-1925 Paperback / softback
by JoEllen Vinyard
Part of the Statue of Liberty Ellis Island series
Paperback / softback
Description
Even before the massive European immigrations of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Detroit had a tradition of Catholicism.
Multiple immigrant groups became part of the city and considered it important to educate their daughters as well as their sons within the Church. JoEllen McNergney Vinyard's comprehensive examination of parochial education in Detroit within the broader context of that city's urbanization patterns yields a richly detailed addition to our understanding of the European immigrant experience. For Faith and Fortune will be of interest to historians and scholars of urban studies, particularly immigration, schooling, and the Catholic experience.
