Presents the experiences of two burgeoning cities and the Irish
people that helped to establish what it was 'to be Irish' within
themSet within colonial Melbourne and Chicago, this book explores
the shifting influences of religious demography, educational
provision and club culture to shed new light on what makes a
diasporic ethnic community connect and survive over multiple
generations. The author focuses on these Irish populations as they
grew alongside their cities establishing the cultural and political
institutions of Melbourne and Chicago, and these comparisons allow
scholars to explore what happens when an ethnic group so often
considered 'other' have a foundational role in a city instead of
entering a society with established hierarchies. Forging Identities
in the Irish World places women and children alongside men to
explore the varied influences on migrant identity and community
life.
