Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"This study breaks new ground in the effort by social historians to explain how it was that Irish immigrants succeeded in overcoming their second-class citizenship standing in their native land, and which followed them to the United States once they reached these shores. Adducing most of the argument from detail of the growth of the labor movement and race relations in Pennsylvania, Ignatiev's thesis is that the Irish achieved political standing by allying themselves with the substantial anti-abolitionist elements in the population. There is the flat assertion that the history of the American labor movement is at the same time the history of the Irish immigrant."
