Erin's Heirs

Irish Bonds of Community

More about the book

Focusing on the resilience of nineteenth-century Irish emigrants in America, the book explores how they established a lasting ethnic subculture. Through family stories, interviews, and historical records, the author analyzes the interplay of identity, organization, and communication within the Irish-American community. Highlighting various roles—from storytellers to laborers—Clark illustrates how the Irish cultivated their identity and responded to social challenges. While primarily based on Philadelphia, the study connects to broader Irish experiences across different cities, offering a comprehensive view of their cultural dynamics.
