Zion on the Hudson: Dutch NY and NJ in the Age of Revivals
Excerpts from Recent Reviews"With the publication of this volume, Dr. Fabend has earned the distinction of being the most knowledgeable writer on the history of the Reformed Church in America during the nineteenth century." Elton J. Bruins, Hope College, Reformed Review
"This book, with her earlier A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies, establishes Fabend as the premier historian of Dutch American culture. . . . Highly recommended for its lucid, engaging style, solid research, and content." C. H. Lippy, University of Tennessee, Choice
"Fabend grounds her conclusions on previously untapped archival sources that . . . support her main thesis that the Reformed Dutch Church nurtured Dutchness while also being a powerful de-ethnicizing modernizing force." Robert P. Swierenga, Hope College, "Powerful, persuasive, with shrewd insights and acute descriptions and analyses." Paul Mattingly, New York University, de Halve Maen
"A rich and comprehensively researched study -a very fine book." Donna Merwick, William and Mary Quarterly
"A very scholarly work, but one that is enjoyable to read. A pioneering study." The N.Y. G&B Record
"In perhaps her most fascinating chapter . . . Fabend does well at identifying the forces that pushed and pulled the Reformed Dutch in opposite directions in the nineteenth century and deepens and complicates current understandings of how ethnic groups became Americanized." Richard Pointer, American Historical Review

"A good and well-written book that reflects prodigious research. Zion on the Hudson makes a strong case for the importance of religious institutions as mediators between individuals and the larger culture." Randall Balmer, New York History, October 2001.
"This study explores how the Dutch community of New York and New Jersey responded to the accelerating pace of social change in nineteenth-century America. . . . In reaching her conclusions, she makes good use of a rich array of previously untapped sources. . . .All told, this is a solid contribution to the study of ethnicity in nineteenth-century America." Keith Mason, University of Liverpool, in The Historical Association, October 2001.
