Is there still a distinct Irish identity in America? This highly original survey says yes, though it\u2019s oft\u0178en an indirect one. True, the age of heroic immigration is over, and today the term \u201CIrish-American\u201D almost always means an American of Irish descent. If the Irish long ago ceased to be America\u2019s largest ethnic group, they\u2019ve nonetheless stayed among the most visible (not least because St Patrick\u2019s Day has been adopted by the nation at large). But for all the external trappings of Irishness, the terms, traditions, and nuances of that identity stay elusive.\nIrish-American Autobiography opens a new window on the shi\u0178ing meanings of Irishness over the twentieth century, by looking at a range of works that have never before been considered as a distinct body of literature.
