Description:This book focuses on the intersection between the assimilation of the Irish into American life and the emergence of an American popular culture, which took place at the same historical moment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It investigates the primary elements of early American popular culture--pulp fiction, comic strips, professional sports, music recordings, stage shows, radio plays, early film, and board games--and uncovers the entanglements these things had with the development of Irish-American identity. While exploring the specificity of the Irish example, the book helps prompt a broader reconsideration of the ethnic contexts of popular culture in America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
