Danger on the Doorstep – Anti–Catholicism and American Print Culture in the Progressive Era
Autor Justin Nordstromen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2022
"Danger on the Doorstep is a fascinating study of anti-Catholicism in the Progressive Era, a subject that has been neglected by historians for far too long. Justin Nordstrom's thorough research and careful analysis of editorial cartoons of the period (and the politics that inspired them) leave the reader with a far better understanding of this crucial era." —Tyler Anbinder, George Washington University
"Justin Nordstrom's splendid book is a singular contribution to a distinctive period in the cultural history of anti-Catholicism. Richly contextualized with an evident command of an abundance of sources and historical literature, this study is a fine blend of sharp analysis and an engaging rhetorical style. Readers will be treated to impassioned conflicts on the meanings of civic life, nationalism, and religious-political subversions and loyalties as manifested in 'American Print Culture.' Nordstrom's many bright insights, particularly on the ironies of the conflicts that lace his wide-ranging analytical narrative, make for a stimulating read. There is no doubt that this book will be well received." —Christopher J. Kauffman, The Catholic University of America
“Justin Nordstrom has broken new ground with this study of anti-Catholic print culture in the decade leading up to World War I.” —Nancy Lusignan Schultz, Salem State College, author of Fire and Roses: The Burning of the Charlestown Convent, 1834
From 1910 to the end of World War I, American society witnessed a tremendous outpouring of books, pamphlets, and newspapers expressing intense anti-Catholic hostility and calling on readers to recognize the danger Catholicism posed to the American republic. Anti-Catholic propaganda of this decade revived older xenophobic traditions in the United States, while revealing writers' deep anxieties about the early twentieth century. Justin Nordstrom's Danger on the Doorstep examines for the first time the rise and abrupt decline of anti-Catholic literature during the Progressive Era, as well as the issues and motivations that informed anti-Catholic writers and their "Romanist" opponents.

Recenzii
“In this first major exploration of anti-Catholic print culture in the 1910s, Nordstrom argues that such anti-Catholicism became prominent by its 'critical overlap' with discourses of progressivism, masculinity and nationalism, but later in the decade took backstage to international wartime priorities. Progressive Era anti-Catholicism was distinctive, Nordstrom argues, because it insisted that Roman Catholicism was insufficiently liberal and therefore posed a threat to the nation's political fabric . . . Recommended.” —Choice, August 2007, Vol. 44, No. 11
“. . . This study is a valuable addition to the recent raft of insightful monographs . . . on American Catholics in the Progressive Era. The degree to which the author, emulating historians such as Jay Dolan and John McGreevey, has integrated his topic into the sociopolitical context of the period is noteworthy . . . this volume deserves a readership in university courses and among scholars in the humanities and social sciences.” —The Journal of American History, March 2007
“While retaining a sharp analytical focus on the 1910s, Nordstrom connects the anti-Catholicism of that decade with earlier outbreaks (antebellum era, 1980s) and later ones (1920s, 1950s). He firmly establishes the surprising extent and popularity of nativism of the decade. He strongly connects it to many disparate strands of scholarship and convincingly explains its 'hiatus' after World War I. Finally, Nordstrom acutely analyzes the Catholic counter-attack. An impressive monograph.” —The Catholic Historical Review (July 2007)
"Danger on the Doorstep focuses on a crucial time in American history to study the emergence of a new type of hostility toward Catholicism and its adherents and the supposed threat they posed to the 'American way of life.' It is an important contribution to understanding nativist feelings against Catholics in the 20th century." —Crisis (Feb./Mar. 2007)
“Nordstrom's study is enhanced by his mastery of the historiography of U.S. anti-Catholicism. Indeed, his extensive knowledge of this subject enables him skillfully to compare and contrast Progressive anti-Catholicism with its counterpart in other eras.” —American Historical Review, vol. 112, no. 5, December 2007
