| Summary: | This text represents a helpful effort to a further understanding of how religion “shape(s) the incorporation of immigrants” in America via historical and comparative perspectives. The editors' introductory chapters throughout the text are excellent, providing cohesion and systematic comparative insights often missing in edited volumes., In the first section, chapters by Richard Alba and Robert Orsi, Roberto Sagarena, and David Lopez compare the Catholic Church's substantial support of the incorporation of Italian immigrants into American society, primarily via education, with its more limited support for Mexican immigrants until the civil rights era. Even today, parochial educational offerings for the latter remain limited. |
