Blackness and Transatlantic Irish Identity - Onkey, Lauren (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, USA)

Blackness and Transatlantic Irish Identity analyzes the long history of imagined and real relationships between the Irish and African-Americans. Onkey examines how Irish and Irish-American identity is often constructed through or against African-Americans, mapping this through the work of writers, playwrights, political activists, and musicians.
