Parish Boundaries : The Catholic Encounter with Race in the Twentieth-Century Urban North Paperback / softback
by John T. McGreevy
Part of the Historical Studies of Urban America series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume chronicles the history of Catholic parishes in such major cities as Boston, Chicago, Detriot, New York and Philadelphia, linking their unique place in the urban landscape to the course of 20th-century American race relations.
In portraits of parish life, the book examines the contacts and conflicts between Euro-American Catholics and their African-American neighbours.
By tracing the transformation of a church, its people and the nation, the book illuminates the enormous impact of religious culture on modern American society.
