The American Irish: A History, is the first concise, general
history of its subject in a generation. It provides a long-overdue
synthesis of Irish-American history from the beginnings of
emigration in the early eighteenth century to the present day.
While most previous accounts of the subject have concentrated on
the nineteenth century, and especially the period from the famine
(1840s) to Irish independence (1920s), The American Irish: A
History incorporates the Ulster Protestant emigration of the
eighteenth century and is the first book to include extensive
coverage of the twentieth century. Drawing on the most innovative
scholarship from both sides of the Atlantic in the last generation,
the book offers an extended analysis of the conditions in Ireland
that led to mass migration and examines the Irish immigrant
experience in the United States in terms of arrival and settlement,
social mobility and assimilation, labor, race, gender, politics,
and nationalism. It is ideal for courses on Irish history,
Irish-American history, and the history of American immigration
more generally.
