Accounts of Irish racialization in the United States have tended to
stress Irish difference. Famine Irish and the American Racial State
takes a different stance. This interdisciplinary, transnational
work uses an array of cultural artifacts, including novels, plays,
songs, cartoons, government reports, laws, sermons, memoirs, and
how-to manuals, to make its case. It challenges the claim that the
Irish "became white" in the United States, showing that the claim
fails to take into full account the legal position of the Irish in
the nineteenth-century US state - a state that deemed the Irish
"white" upon arrival. The Irish thus not only fitted into the US
racial state; they helped to form it. Till now, little heed has
been paid to the state's role in the Americanization of the Irish
or to the Irish role in the development of US state institutions.
Distinguishing American citizenship from American nationality, this
volume journeys to California to analyze the means by which the
Irish gained acceptance in both categories, at the expense of the
Chinese. Along the way, it contests ideas that have taken hold
within American studies. One is the notion that the Roman Catholic
Church operated outside of the power structure of the
nineteenth-century United States. On the contrary, Famine Irish and
the American Racial State argues, the Irish-led corporate Catholic
Church became deeply imbricated in US state structures. Its final
chapter discusses a radical, transnational, Irish tradition that
offers a glimpse at a postnational future.
