In this stunning work chronicling the authors exploration of his own past--and the lives of many hundreds of thousands of nameless immigrants who struggled alongside his own ancestors--Peter Quinn paints a brilliant new portrait of the Irish-American men and women whose evolving culture and values continue to play such a central role in all of our identities as Americans. In Quinns hands, the Irish stereotype of Paddy gives way to an image of Jimmy--an archetypal Irish-American. From Irish immigration to modern politics, Quinn vibrantly weaves together the story of a remarkable people and their immeasurable contribution to American history and culture.Peter Quinn is a novelist, political historian, and foremost chronicler of New York City. He is the author of Banished Children of Eve and a trilogy of historical detective novels--Hour of the Cat, The Man Who Never Returned, and Dry Bones.Book specifications:Dimensions: 226 x 150Author: Peter QuinnCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 3Pages: 320Language: EnglishPublisher: New York RelitWeight: 454 g
