Abstract

Although the Vatican pragmatically accepted the establishment of segregated Catholic institutions in the Jim Crow South during the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, its condemnation of Nazi and fascist racism and espousal of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ rejected racial distinctions. This article argues that Rome's postwar transnational interest in countering international communism and appealing to the global South also encouraged its support for racial equality, integration and the civil rights movement, and denial of religious legitimacy to segregationists. Yet Catholic desegregation in the South was largely token and one-sided, and closed many black institutions.

《种族歧视绝不是正当的》:1946-1968年,梵蒂冈与南方的废除种族隔离
尽管在19世纪末和20世纪上半叶,梵蒂冈务实地接受了在南方实行种族隔离的天主教机构的建立,但它对纳粹和法西斯种族主义的谴责,以及对基督神秘身体教义的支持,拒绝了种族区分。本文认为,罗马战后在对抗国际共产主义和呼吁全球南方方面的跨国利益,也鼓励了它对种族平等、融合和民权运动的支持,以及对种族隔离主义者的宗教合法性的否认。然而,天主教在南方废除种族隔离在很大程度上是象征性的和片面的,并关闭了许多黑人机构。

The Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate.
