Description

Here, John McGreevy chronicles the history of Catholic parishes and connects their unique place in the urban landscape to the course of American race relations in the 20th century. In vivid portraits of parish life in Boston, Chicago, New York and other cities, the author examines the contracts and conflicts between Euro-American Catholics and their African American neighbors, illuminating the enormous impact of religious culture on modern American history.
