Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the experiences of many Irish immigrants, both male and female, who fled the Great Famine of the mid-1840s for the promise of a new, better life in Boston, Massachusetts. The author explores the complexities of Irish identity within this diaspora community as they st…ruggled to find their place within the social, political, and economic fabric of the city, while also striving to retain their cultural heritage. The challenges faced by these early Irish in Boston are examined through their own words, supplemented with insights from historians and sociologists, giving readers a profound understanding of the trials and tribulations of the immigrant experience. By drawing upon a wealth of previously unused historical records and personal accounts, this book sheds fresh light on the significant role that the Irish played in shaping the identity and culture of Boston, while also providing a unique perspective on the larger story of immigration in America.
