First published 1994
Jay P. Dolan explores the evolution of Hispanic Catholic culture in America from 1965 to the present day. This third volume in The Notre Dame History of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. series shifts focus from the national origin approach of earlier books. Instead, Dolan organizes eleven essays around central themes that span different nationalities, regions, and generations within Hispanic Catholic communities. The book addresses key issues facing the fastest growing segment of American Catholic membership and their relationship with the broader Euro-American Church. Dolan provides Church officials, religious community members, Catholic educators, and Euro-American Christians with insights into the historical development and contemporary challenges of Hispanic Catholic culture. The work offers readers an understanding of the policies and practices that shape interactions between traditional Church leadership and Hispanic Catholic populations across the United States.
