Cushwa Center Studies of Catholicism
in 20th Century America

The Catholic community is integral to American history. The Cushwa Center Studies of Catholicism in 20th Century America is devoted to the study of the Catholic experience in America. A joint venture between The Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism and Cornell University Press, the series welcomes books by senior and junior scholars that illuminate the interactions between Catholics and other Americans. Books in the series explore the ways in which Catholics and their church have responded to, shaped, and been influenced by developments in American society, culture, politics, and religion throughout the twentieth century.

Series editor: R. Scott Appleby is Professor of History and Director of the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame. He is the former director of The Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism.
