Catholic Borderlands should be read by anyone teaching or doing research in American religious history. -Ann Swaner, Catholic Books Review -- Ann Swaner Catholic Books Review Martinez does not disappoint in exploring, explaining and answering where we have been. -Brian T. Olszewski, Pilot -- Brian T. Olszewski Pilot Future scholars of US empire, American religion, and American studies more broadly would do well do draw on the findings of this important work. -Katherine Moran, H-SHGAPE -- Katherine Moran H-SHGAPE The clear writing, strong analytical framing, and global scope make Catholic Borderlands an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate classes. -Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens, Hispanic American Historical Review -- Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens Hispanic American Historical Review Anne M. Martinez's narrative encompasses the interrelation between various forces in motion: the Mexican Revolution and church-state tensions, activism of Mexican Catholics and government agents, initiatives of Bishop Francis Kelley and other U.S. Catholic leaders, responses of U.S. political officials, and intervention by the Vatican. Such a broad international approach sets Catholic Borderlands apart from previous studies and generates the book's compelling analysis. -Timothy Matovina, author of Latino Catholicism: Transformation in America's Largest Church -- Timothy Matovina Catholic Borderlands explores U.S. Catholic intellectuals' response to the Mexican Revolution and its anticlerical campaigns through the career of Father Francis C. Kelley. By documenting the many problems and contradictions of [Kelley's] campaign for greater U.S. intervention in Mexican affairs, Anne Martinez is able to chart the success (and failure) of religion as a motivator in foreign policy while questioning the degree to which that religion transcends national boundaries and cultures... Martinez spins a captivating and important tale. -Terry Rugeley, author of Rebellion Now and Forever: Mayas, Hispanics, and Caste War Violence in Yucatan, 1800-1880 -- Terry Rugeley
