"Dolan and Deck have contributed significantly to our understanding of Hispanic culture and they present us with a critical dimension of the Church in the United States, a subject as complex as Hispanic culture itself." —Catholic Southwest"... these articles address issues (such as liturgical reform, youth ministry, and the rise of Hispanic Protestantism) that cut across nationalities, regions, and generations. This is a bold work, deserving of recognition." —Books of the Southwest"Hispanic Catholic Culture in the U.S. ably succeeds in its purpose: to bring to non-Hispanic readers an overview of the history and the ongoing issues underlying the Euro-American Church's policies toward the fastest-growing segment of its membership." —Sociology of Religion"... a significant contribution to the study of Hispanic culture as well as to the study of American Catholicism. For Latino scholars it provides the first in-depth examination of the effects of Latino activism on the church. The chapters on the emergence of social identity, organization of a Hispanic church, ecclesiastical and lay leadership development, and the role of popular religion provide a view of Hispanic institutional participation that few other works do." —Western Historical Quarterly
