This book examines the development of the Irish community in
Manchester, one of the most dynamic cities of nineteenth-century
Britain. Based on research into a wide variety of local sources, it
examines the process by which the Irish came to be blamed for all
the ills of the Industrial Revolution and the ways in which they
attempted to cope with a sometimes actively hostile environment. It
discusses the nature and degree of residential segregation in one
notable Irish district and the role of the Catholic Church as a
source of spiritual comfort and the base for a dense network of
mutual aid and social and cultural organisations. It also examines
how the Irish community allied itself with local campaign groups
and political parties and organised celebrations and processions
that simultaneously expressed its evolving sense of Irishness but
fitted in with local traditions and customs. -- .
