Marion Casey’s fascinating interrogation of the iterations and re-iterations of Irish imagery that she terms the Green Space demonstrates that what we sometimes take for granted as Irish has a story, a context, and an evolution. This compelling transatlantic study of codes and tropes marks where the Ireland of the imagination originated and is a captivating read whether you are Irish or not. * Úna Ní Bhroiméil, author of Building Irish Identity in America 1870-1915 * Through impressive research, drawing on sources as diverse as congressional debates, St. Patrick’s Day party games, movie advertising campaigns, liquor company legal wars over trademarking, and much more, Marion Casey has written a provocative, imaginative and strikingly innovative study of how the image of the Irish was constructed in America over the first half of the twentieth century. * Timothy J. Meagher, author of Becoming Irish American: the Making and Remaking of a People * An illuminating, original contribution to our understanding of ethnic history, popular culture, media history, business history and political history. * Robert W. Snyder, Professor emeritus of Journalism and American Studies, Rutgers University *
