Reseña del editor

A review of the developments in the world of Catholic higher education since 1960 leads to a consideration of the process by which Catholic colleges and universities acclimated themselves to the standards of American higher education and, at the same time, attempted to retain a distinctive mission as Catholic institutions.Alice Gallin, O.S.U., explores this process in Negotiating Identity: Catholic Higher Education since 1960. She demonstrates how crucial the impact of events such as World War II and the Second Vatican Council were for all of these institutions and how, though their responses varied, common concerns strengthened their connections with one another. She also examines the intense debate surrounding a redefined partnership with the laity following the issuance of Ex Corde Ecclesiae in 1990. The volume deals with four major constituencies with whom the Catholic universities and colleges negotiated a changing identity: government, higher education, the hierarchy of the Church, and the internal community of faculty, students, trustees, etc. Using archival materials, Gallin presents new information regarding the relationships of individual institutions with these various constituencies and attempts to construct an overview of the approximately 230 Catholic colleges and universities in the United States during their most recent years.Negotiating Identity: Catholic Higher Education since 1960 will give all readers engaged in Catholic higher education a concise history of these institutions and a clear sense of their responsibilities for the future.
