简介

  In this stunning work chronicling the author's exploration ofhis own past--and the lives of many hundreds of thousands ofnameless immigrants who struggled alongside his ownancestors--Peter Quinn paints a brilliant new portrait of theIrish-American men and women whose evolving culture and valuescontinue to play such a central role in all of our identities asAmericans. In Quinn's hands, the Irish sterotype of "Paddy" givesway to an image of "Jimmy"--an archetypal Irish-American (acomposite of Jimmy Cagney and Jimmy Walker) who comes to life as afast-talking, tough-yet-refined urban American redefining Americanpolitics, street culture, religion, and imagination. From theirimmigration into America to the politics of the modern day, Quinn'svibrant prose weaves together the story of a people that has madean immeasurable contribution to American history and culture.
