Redefining Irishness in a Coastal Maine City, 1770-1870: Bridget's Belfast

This book explains how class, status, and gender affected individual and community perceptions of ethnicity in a rural New England community. It investigates how stereotype-and immigrants' reactions to a variety of negative receptions-helped create new identities on the frontier.
