 | How the Irish Became White by Noel Ignatiev
Noel Ignatiev's How the Irish Became White explains the history of how the Irish immigrant rose from racially oppressed to racial oppressor. This is the first book to focus not on how the Irish were assimilated but how they assimilated as whites. Utilizing newspaper chronicles, memoirs, biographies, and official accounts, Ignatiev traces the tattered history of Irish and African-American relations, revealing how the Irish in America used unions, the Catholic Church and the Democratic party to help gain and secure their newly found place in the White Republic.
