Anti-Catholicism in American History: A Reinterpretation

Kyle Haden, OFM, examines the tumultuous and dangerous religious and social landscape of antebellum America and vividly demonstrates the religious and social constructs that helped define 'true American identity,' as this was understood by the Protestant majority and experienced by the influx of new Catholic immigrants of that time. Haden offers an energizing prescription for today's debates around inclusion and exclusion.
