The book delves into the evolution of the Irish American community in Worcester, Massachusetts, during the early twentieth century. It highlights the transition from isolated immigrant status to active leadership within a broader American Catholic identity, driven by the first American-born generation. Key themes include the role of women in nationalism, marriage patterns, and political coalitions. Meagher's analysis reveals how identity and community boundaries shifted over forty years, offering insights into the broader struggles of ethnic groups to redefine themselves across generations.
