Description

In the second half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of German and Irish immigrants left Europe for the United States. Many settled in the Northeast, but some boarded trains and made their way west. Focusing on the cities of Fort Wayne, Indiana and St Louis, Missouri, Regina Donlon employs comparative and transnational methodologies in order to trace their journeys from arrival through their emergence as cultural, social and political forces in their communities. Drawing comparisons between large, industrial St Louis and small, established Fort Wayne and between the different communities which took root there, Donlon offers new insights into the factors which shaped their experiences―including the impact of city size on the preservation of ethnic identity, the contrasting concerns of the German and Irish Catholic churches and the roles of women as social innovators. This unique multi-ethnic approach illuminates overlooked dimensions of the immigrant experience in the American Midwest. Review “Donlon’s book is original, methodologically rigorous and makes a genuine and welcome contribution to migration and diaspora historiography.” (Sarah Roddy, Irish Economic and Social History, November 10, 2019) Review “An innovative, scholarly and highly readable comparative history of German and Irish immigrants to America’s Midwest, which draws upon rich demographic and textual materials to unlock the parallel and entwined lives of what were mid-nineteenth-century America’s largest European immigrant groups.” (Donald M. MacRaild, Professor of British and Irish History, University of Roehampton, UK) From the Back Cover In the second half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of German and Irish immigrants left Europe for the United States.
