Description
Title: A Catholic in the White House?: Religion, Politics, and John F. Kennedy's Presidential Campaign
Author: Thomas J. Carty Category: Academic/History/Religion Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan (August 26, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 1403962529 ISBN-13: 978-1403962522  Promotional info/Publisher's summary - "According to numerous scholars and pundits, JFK's victory in 1960 symbolized America's evolution from a politically Protestant nation to a pluralistic one. The anti-Catholic prejudice that many blamed for presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith's crushing defeat in 1928 at last seemed to have been overcome. However, if the presidential election of 1960 was indeed a turning point for American Catholics, how do we explain the failure of any Catholic--in over forty years--to repeat Kennedy's accomplishment? In this exhaustively researched study that fuses political, cultural, social, and intellectual history, Thomas Carty challenges the assumption that JFK's successful campaign for the presidency ended decades, if not centuries, of religious and political tensions between American Catholics and Protestants." Review: "Superbly researched and very timely. Thomas Carty offers a fresh and useful vantage point for analysis of the endlessly interesting 1960 presidential campaign." -John McGreevy, Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, author of Catholicism and American Freedom: A History This torrent contains a retail quality PDF that is fully indexed, browse-able and searchable.
