520    Steeples topped by crosses still dominate neighborhood 
       skylines in many American cities, silent markers of local 
       worlds rarely examined by historians. In Parish Boundaries,
       John McGreevy chronicles the history of these Catholic 
       parishes and connects their unique place in the urban 
       landscape to the course of American race relations in the 
       twentieth century. 
520 8  In vivid portraits of parish life in Boston, Chicago, 
       Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, 
       McGreevy examines the contacts and conflicts between Euro-
       American Catholics and their African-American neighbors. 
       He demonstrates how the territorial nature of the parish -
       more bound by geography than Protestant or Jewish 
       congregations - kept Catholics in their neighborhoods, and
       how this commitment to place complicated efforts to 
       integrate urban neighborhoods. 
520 8  He also shows how the church responded to the growing 
       number of African-American parishioners by condemning 
       racism, and how this teaching was received in communities 
       rocked by racial strife. Taking the story through the 
       Second Vatican Council and the civil rights movement of 
       the 1960s, McGreevy demonstrates how debates about 
       community and racial justice helped trigger a more general
       reevaluation of the character of American Catholicism.
