One Nation under God. Der US-Katholizismus und die Politik

From the Margins to the Center of Power: U.S. Catholicism and Politics

In the United States, Catholics have risen from a tiny minority to become the country’s largest religious denomination and have advanced to the very center of power. They have a strong presence in Trump’s administration. This book traces the fascinating history of US Catholicism and its connection to politics from the early days of European colonization to the present. In addition to fundamental aspects, it also examines important individual topics, such as flight and migration and the situation of African Americans. With his introduction, Benjamin Dahlke explores a topic that is as multifaceted as it is relevant, thereby filling a gap in German-language literature.
