An urgently needed and transformative intervention into the fields of Irish Studies, Victorian Studies, and American Studies. O'Malley provides a brilliant account of the relationship between Irish nationalism, Irish-American literary culture, and the consolidation of white supremacy in the US and in Britain. The stakes of this text are not only aesthetic but reveal the ways in which form and genre are key to understanding much larger political formations and forces. By the end of this rigorously argued book, the racial politics of Irish nationalism cannot be understood in the same way. - Amy E. Martin, Mount Holyoke College, author of Alter-nations: Nationalisms, Terror, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Britain and Ireland
