Mexican Americans and the Catholic Church, 1900-1965 (The Notre Dame History of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. Series , Vol 1)

Mexican Americans comprise the largest segment of Hispanics in the United States. Within the American Catholic Church their legacy is the longest, as is their struggle for full acceptance in the institutional church. In this landmark volume, three well-known historians examine this important, yet neglected religious history, focusing on Mexican-American faith communities in the Southwest, California, and the Midwest.
