Book Review

Citizens or Papists? The Politics of Anti-Catholicism in New York, 1685–1821. By Jason K. Duncan. (New York: Fordham University Press, 2005. xviii, 253 pp. $70.00, ISBN 0-8232-2512-7.)

Jason K. Duncan's study of Catholicism in the politics of New York during the early republic begins with the premise that, with the exception of perfunctory references to the origins of colonial Maryland, Catholics have largely been excluded from histories of the United States prior to the 1830s. While that is something of an overstatement, Duncan is correct that Catholics, a rapidly growing segment of the population, have not received their due from political and religious historians of early America. This excellent book makes a valuable addition to the literature and helps redress the historiographical imbalance.
