Examines how Irish and Jewish Americans defined their place in a
complex society. The story of America is the story of the unlikely
groups of immigrants brought together by their shared outsider
status. Urban American life took much of its shape from the arrival
of Irish and Jewish immigrants in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, and Forged in America is the story of how Irish America
and Jewish America collided, cooperated, and collaborated in the
cities where they made their homes, all the while shaping American
identity and nationhood as we know it. Bringing together leading
scholars in their fields, this volume sheds light on the
underexplored histories of Irish and Jewish collaboration. While
mutual antagonism was clearly evident, so too were opportunities
for cooperation, as settled Irish immigrants served to model,
mentor, and mediate for Jewish newcomers. Together, the chapters in
this volume draw fascinating portraits that show mutuality in
action and demonstrate its cultural reverberations.
