Parish Boundaries chronicles the history of Catholic parishes in major cities such as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Philadelphia, melding their unique place in the urban landscape to the course of twentieth century American race relations. In vivid portraits of parish life, John McGreevy examines the contacts and conflicts between Euro-American Catholics and their African-American neighbors. By tracing the transformation of a church, its people, and the nation, McGreevy illuminates the enormous impact of religious culture on modern American society.

Parish Boundaries can take its place in the front ranks of the literature of urban race relations.--Jonathan Dorfman, Washington Post Book Review

Parish Boundaries will fascinate historians and anyone interested in the historic connection between parish and race.--Ed Marciniak, Chicago Tribune

The history that remains to be written will rest on the firm foundation of Mr. McGreevy's remarkable book.--Richard Wightman Fox, New York Times Book Review
