Publisher's Synopsis
The Redemption of the South End: A Study in City Evangelization is a book written by Eustache Charles Edouard Dorion and published in 1915. The book is a study of the efforts to evangelize and improve the South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, during the early 20th century. Dorion, a French-Canadian Catholic priest, was involved in the work of the South End House settlement, a social service agency that provided assistance to the poor and immigrant residents of the area. In the book, Dorion describes the challenges faced by the South End community, including poverty, crime, and social inequality. He also details the efforts of the settlement workers, including their efforts to provide education, healthcare, and other forms of support to the residents. Dorion argues that the work of the settlement was not only important for the welfare of the community but also for the spiritual redemption of its residents. The book provides a detailed account of the social and religious context of the South End during this period, including the role of Catholicism in the community. It also includes descriptions of the lives of individual residents and the challenges they faced. The Redemption of the South End is an important historical document that sheds light on the efforts of early social workers and religious leaders to address the social problems of urban America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
