- Summary:
- Though his great-grandparents had been forced to emigrate to the US in the 1850s, Hayden's parents erased his Irish heritage in the quest for respectability. In this passionate book he explores the losses wrought by such conformism and claims today's Irish-Americans need to re-inhabit their history and recognize that assimilation need not entail submission.
