It's a monograph on the orphan trains and race. A group of Irish orphans were sent to an Arizona mining town to be adopted by Mexican Catholics. The white Protestant elite saw white children being adopted by Mexicans and disregarded their Catholicism. Fascinating discussion of how race and religion change with locality and in relation to each other. Also - this is the book with the great quote by a black man that he was one of the first white men in the area - because he wasn't Mexican.Zaynanoreply@blogger.com
