Looking for Jimmy: A Search for Irish America(ISBN=9781590200230) pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　In this stunning work chronicling the author's exploration of

his own past--and the lives of many hundreds of thousands of

nameless immigrants who struggled alongside his own

ancestors--Peter Quinn paints a brilliant new portrait of the

Irish-American men and women whose evolving culture and values

continue to play such a central role in all of our identities as

Americans. In Quinn's hands, the Irish sterotype of "Paddy" gives

way to an image of "Jimmy"--an archetypal Irish-American (a

composite of Jimmy Cagney and Jimmy Walker) who comes to life as a

fast-talking, tough-yet-refined urban American redefining American

politics, street culture, religion, and imagination. From their

immigration into America to the politics of the modern day, Quinn's

vibrant prose weaves together the story of a people that has made

an immeasurable contribution to American history and culture.
