Irish Arrival and American Prejudice

Irish diaspora to the U.S. 1700-1900 in phases, the colonial-era Protestant/Presbyterian (Scots-Irish) wave of the 1700s; the shift to Catholic migration from the 1820s; the famine decade (1845–1855) — one million dead, two million gone; and the relentless post-famine exodus through the end of the century.

With Dr. Kevin Kenny, a Professor of History and Glucksman Professor in Irish Studies at New York University, where he also directs Glucksman Ireland House.

Historian Dr. Kevin Kenny traces the Irish diaspora beyond the familiar famine story — revealing an Irish America that was Protestant before it was Catholic, and shaped by land hunger, labor, religion, and slavery's shadow.

"You could sum up the whole story of mass emigration with that image — the replacement of human beings by animals on the soil." — Dr. Kevin Kenny
