Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid copy.; "We have chosen to focus this volume on those Catholic ethnics who trace their origins to Eastern Central and Southern Europe and the Middle East. ... The rationale for this anthology is based on the fact that the "other Catholics" today comprise the majority of the American Catholic population; the Irish and Germans have, at least numerically, fallen into the status of minorities. Yet American Catholic historiography until quite recently failed to take into account the role of the non-dominant ethnic elements in the development of the Church."
