Product Information

Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century PresbyterianUlster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: 'Redlegs,' 'Scots-Irish,' and 'black Irish.' In literature byFitzgerald, O'Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America's racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America's immigrant hierarchy between 'Saxon' Scots-Irish and 'Celtic' Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performerscomplicates the 'Irish whitening' narrative. Thus, 'Irish Princess' Grace Kelly's globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for 'America's royals,' the Kennedys. The presidencies of theScots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts' assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power ('whiteness') entails, subgenres named 'Scots-Irish Gothic' and 'Kennedy Gothic' are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-Americannarrative because the undead Irish past replays within America's contexts of race.

Reviews
Race, Politics, and Irish America is of value because it refuses and exposes the homogeneous treatment of the Irish (as all descended from Famine refugees) in Irish American literary criticism. The book acts as a corrective for three prominent areas of scholarship...It provides a narrative in its own right that complements whiteness studies by bringing in a literary approach and an impressively nuanced view of the history of various groups in Ireland andAmerica., "Race, Politics, and Irish America is of value because it refuses and exposes the homogeneous treatment of the Irish (as all descended from Famine refugees) in Irish American literary criticism. The book acts as a corrective for three prominent areas of scholarship...It provides a narrative in its own right that complements whiteness studies by bringing in a literary approach and an impressively nuanced view of the history of various groups in Ireland and America." -- Beth O'Leary Anish, Community College of Rhode Island, Irish University Review "Burke's book is an exciting, necessary contribution to both Irish Studies and American literary studies. She impressively distills complicated histories on both sides of the Atlantic into comprehensible chunks, and then deftly applies that history to a range of texts, most with previously ignored Irish elements at the base of their protagonists' race and class anxieties." -- Beth O'Leary Anish, Community College of Rhode Island, Irish University Review "Race, Politics, and Irish America makes a compelling argument for seeing ethnic identity as every bit as key to understanding Fitzgerald as his self-doubts over his class status and literary standing." -- Kirk Curnutt, F. Scott Fitzgerald Review
