As with Muslims today, Catholics were once suspected of being
antidemocratic, oppressive of women, and supportive of extremist
political violence. By the end of the twentieth century, Catholics
were considered normal and sometimes valorized as exemplary
citizens. Can other ethnic, racial, and religious minorities follow
the same path? Minorities and Reconstructive Coalitions provides an
answer by comparing the stories of ethnic Catholics' political
incorporation in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Through
comparative and historical analysis, the book shows that
reconstructive coalitions, such as labor and pan-Christian moral
movements, can bring Catholics and Protestants together under new
identities, significantly improving Catholic standing. Not all
coalitions are reconstructive or successful, and institutional
structures such as regional autonomy can enhance or inhibit the
formation of these coalitions. The book provides overviews of the
history of Catholics in the three countries, reorients the
historiography of Catholic incorporation in the United States,
uncovers the phenomenon of minority overrepresentation in politics,
and advances unique arguments about the impact of coalitions on
minority politics.
