Product Details
Interested in the legacy and experience of Irish Americans? Read the Irish-American Autobigoraphy by James Silas Rogers. The collection of memoir essays seeks to track the shifting meaning of "Irishness in America." Most of the collection involves stories at the beginning of the 20th century. Many historians say this is the time called "Americans of Irish decent" rather than story of "Irish people in America." A theme that emerges throughout all the stories in Irish-American Autobiography is a people with a "divided heart." One part longs for the homeland and the other longs to live in the new land. There creates a great river of sadness under much of Irish American humor as a result.
In addition, there was a survival need by many Irish now living in America to separate themselves from their Irish roots. Irish-American Autobiography seeks to help piece together the narrative of our Irish lives. Stories by famous Irish Americans are provided as well as stories from lives not in the spotlight. All stories give us a well-rounded perspective in the Irish-American Autobiography. In addition, many stories give a clear view of the enclave of Irish isolation in the US. Pilgrimages back to Ireland are in many Irish-American Autobiography stories providing a powerful bridge of healing for the divided heart of the Irish.
