Reviews

Moran takes up a task under which other historians of American Catholicism have long labored: turning American historical memory away from East Coast Colonial hegemony and, instead, calling attention to other parts of North America that came to have a formative influence on the American national psyche before and during the American Revolution. She argues that many American Protestants and Catholics turned to idealized visions of Catholic imperial pasts in order to talk about the past and future of U.S. empire (p. 20). Succeeding brilliantly in illustrating this sorely needed contribution to the field, Moran's landmark text is a must read for scholarly audiences. * Choice *
