The Boston Irish: A Political History Paperback - 1997
by Thomas O'Connor
First line
IN THE COURSE of the late nineteenth century Mr. George Apley, that fictional but quintessential stereotype of the Beacon Hill Brahmin, had just been asked to serve with a new organization called the Save Boston Association.
From the rear cover
According to Thomas O'Connor, Irish political dominance in Boston grew out of generations of bitter and unyielding conflict between Yankees and Irish Catholic immigrants. Unlike the Irish in other American cities, the settlers in Boston encountered a homogenous, long-established Anglo-Saxon population openly hostile toward the Irish and all things Roman Catholic. O'Connor charts the course of the Irish's growing political influence in Boston against the background of this clash between two different cultures. He argues that Irish politicians established a distinct philosophy of government that often shifted from traditional Democratic leadership to local neighborhood populism.
