From Margin to Center of Power: American Catholicism and Politics

In the United States of America, Catholics have risen from a small, vanishing minority to the largest denomination in the country, advancing to the position of power.

They have a strong presence in the Trump administration. The book traces the interesting history of Catholicism in the United States and its relationship to politics from the early stages of European colonialism to the present day.In addition to the basic aspects, the book also addresses important individual topics, such as immigration, displacement, and the situation of African Americans. Through his introduction, Benjamin Dahlke explores a topic that is as multifaceted as it is relevant, filling a gap in German literature.
