Synopsis

This is the third volume in the groundbreaking study The Notre Dame History of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S., continues the historical investigation of the first two volumes, spanning the years 1965 to the present. Unlike the two preceding volumes, whose articles are arranged in terms of national origin (Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican), the 11 essays in Hispanic Catholic Culture in the U.S. are organized according to key issues that cut across nationalities, regions, and generations.

About this title

Review:

"A significant contribution to the study of Hispanic culture as well as to the study of American Catholicism. For Latino scholars it provides the first in-depth examination of the effects of Latino activism on the church. The chapters on the emergence of social identity, organization of a Hispanic church, ecclesiastical and lay leadership development, and the role of popular religion provide a view of Hispanic institutional participation that few other works do."
