Unprecedented in its scope, "Rainbow's End" provides a bold new
analysis of the emergence, growth, and decline of six classic
Irish-American political machines in New York, Jersey City,
Chicago, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Albany. Combining the
approaches of political economy and historical sociology, Erie
examines a wide range of issues, including the relationship between
city and state politics, the manner in which machines shaped ethnic
and working-class politics, and the reasons why centralized party
organizations failed to emerge in Boston and Philadelphia despite
their large Irish populations. The book ends with a thorough
discussion of the significance of machine politics for today's
urban minorities.
