About this book

Ignatiev traces the tattered history of Irish and African-American relations revealing how the Irish used labor unions the Catholic Church and the Democratic party to succeed in American. He uncovers the roots of conflict between Irish-Americans and African-Americans and draws a powerful connection between the embracing of white supremacy and Irish "success" in 19th century American society.
