Kane explores the role of religious identity in Boston in the years 1900-1920, arguing that Catholicism was a central integrating force among different class and ethnic groups. She traces the effect of changing class status on religious identity and solidarity, and she delineates the social and cultural meaning of Catholicism in a city where Yankee Protestant nativism persisted even as its hegemony was in decline.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A richly contextualized and very readable analysis of the different voices in which Boston Catholics spoke during the Progressive Era.
(Choice)
[A] thorough and subtly argued book.
(Journal of Social History)
Kane's focus is the harbinger of a new look on the Catholic community, one that will require the rewriting of much of Catholic history in Boston and elsewhere.
(American Historical Review)
Kane has provided one of the best studies of the defining cultural struggle Catholics have endured on two fronts in twentieth-century America.
(James T. Fisher, Yale University)
The book is a model for understanding the complex interdependence of religion, politics and society in other communities.
