“Ranging from the colonial era to the present day and addressing a remarkably wide range of themes—including migration, labor, race, gender, sexuality, religion, politics, nationalism, literature, language, music, and the environment—this Routledge History will be an invaluable resource for all readers interested in Irish-American history and culture.” Kevin Kenny, New York University ""This volume represents a spectacular achievement that will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers. Innovative and wide-ranging, it beautifully illustrates the diversity and complexity of Irish-American culture and history from the earliest waves of migration up to the present time."" Marjorie Howes, Boston College “Carefully structured into seven well-defined sections and written by both rising stars and leading scholars in the field, The Routledge History of Irish America is a breathtakingly wide-ranging exploration of the lives, activities, and reception of Irish America across the centuries. A must for students and scholars alike.” Donald M. MacRaild, London Metropolitan University and Honorary Fellow at Ulster and Edinburgh universities
