Review
"Tucker examines in some detail the events of May 17-19, 1924, when the Ku Klux Klan rallied in South Bend, Indiana, and came to blows with the "Fighting Irish" of Notre Dame. Tucker provides appropriate context for readers unaware of U.S. history at the turn of the last century: virulent anti-Catholicism, xenophobia, resurgence of the Klan after 1915. The work provides a useful, accessible case study for general readers and undergraduates about the ethnoreligious tensions permeating U.S. society at the time."--Choice
"In Notre Dame vs the Klan, Notre Dame alum Todd Tucker examines Catholic Americanism at a particularly important historical moment--the early part of the last century, when Catholics themselves were divided over how much to assimilate. . . . In the early 1920s, the Klan began holding parades through the centers of Midwestern cities with large Catholic concentrations. It was almost inevitable that they would come to South Bend, a capital of American Catholicism. Seeing the burning crosses in their own town finally made the young men of Notre Dame stand up and take notice."--The American Enterprise
