This book, 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.
“Dolan and Deck have contributed significantly to our understanding of Hispanic culture and they present us with a critical dimension of the Church in the United States, a subject as complex as Hispanic culture itself.” —Catholic Southwest
