U.S. Catholic Historian

Future Issue:  

Latino Catholicism

For forty years the U.S. Catholic Historian has published theme-based issues relevant to the history of American Catholicism. An upcoming issue will address the theme of Latino Catholicism. Thirty years ago saw the publication of the three-volume Notre Dame History of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. This issue allows consideration of the volumes’ legacies and changes that have occurred in the field over these decades. Contributions could include, but are not limited to, the following:

·   Localized studies of Latino communities, parishes, and organizations

·   The influence of Latino worship and ritual, including devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Black Christ of Esquipulas, etc.

·   Latin American immigration and migration and its impact

·   Human rights issues, including “sanctuary”

·   Latino vocations and theology

·   Relations between the Latin American Church and the United States

Scholars considering a submission are asked to contact the editor, Fr. David Endres at DEndres@mtsm.org before preparing a contribution. Approximate length is 7,000-10,000 words. We ask for submissions by November 1, 2023 and look forward to hearing from potential contributors.
