About this product
Product Information
Brokers of Culture examines the interactions among multiple ethnic groups in the American West and a group of nearly four hundred Italian Jesuits who emigrated to the United States after 1848 in the wake of the Italian unification movement. The first wave of exiles taught in Jesuit colleges on the East Coast, where they played a major role in reforming American seminary education. From their eastern base, the dispersed clerics moved to the frontier, shaping the evolution of culture in eleven western states. The Jesuits' most powerful source of influence was their western colleges, which adhered to educational traditions brought from Europe while simultaneously meeting the needs of an ethnically mixed and mobile frontier population.

Reviews
"[ Brokers of Culture ] provides detailed accounts of the Jesuit educational initiatives among both Native American and Hispanic populations, and it carefully traces how the Jesuit' missionary work was molded by shifts in U.S. Indian policy. It is a significant contribution to what has been termed the 'new western history' and its commitment to the study of previously neglected or undervalued groups and individuals."-- Journal of American History, "A major study that will shape the next generation of scholarship in Western and religious history."-John McGreevy,America "Brokers of Cultureis a magisterial treatment that will attract a great deal of attention."-James Carroll,Pacific Historical Review "McKevitt's is an exemplary work of historical scholarship a wonderful example of mature American Catholic historical scholarship."-David O'Brien,Theological Studies "This is a fascinating study about the work of Italian Jesuits in the western part of the United States in the seventy or so years following the European revolutions of 1848 McKevitt proves himself an exceptional scholar by concretizing the threefold task of the historian in finding the sources, evaluating the sources, and writing his own history in this, his latest work." -Archivum Historicum "The role of Italian Jesuits in the spiritual, intellectual, and scientific growth of the nineteenth century American West may come as a surprise, but Father McKevitt provides a readable approach to an intriguing chapter in American history." -Michael P. Morris,First Things "With its attention to individual stories and international connections,Brokers of Culturewill be most useful to scholars of Catholic-especially Jesuit-history and missiology. In fleshing out and bringing together the story of the Jesuits in multiple Western regions, it will also be a valuable reference for students of religion in the American West more broadly." -Church History "McKevitt's tale, masterfully told, is a drama of both cultural and generational conflict...Father McKevitt has written a masterpiece. If there is a better book on the American Jesuits, I don't know what it is." -American Catholic Studies, "Brokers of Cultureis a masterpiece that closes a gap in our understanding of American Catholic and Jesuit history.
