One in Christ takes us into the streets and parishes of Catholic Chicago, richly exploring the much understudied work of the laityparticularly womenin shaping, defining, and acting for interracial unity and justice.

Her findings and interpretations have deep meaning for our current times. A must read for anyone wanting to understand civil rights and racial change. * Michael O. Emerson, author of Divided by Faith, United by Faith, and Transcending Racial Barriers * Karen J. Johnson has made a remarkable contribution to scholarship on interracial civil rights activism in the Northern United States.
