Irish on the Inside by Tom Hayden
In this candid book Hayden explores the losses wrought by Irish-American conformism, in his own life and beyond. Operating both as an autobiography of a figure of the American new left, and a fascinating history of Irish colonization, this book casts new light on the continuing struggle.
Every Irish American (and everyone in Ireland, too) should read Tom Hayden's brilliant and passionate book.. startlingly refreshing. -- Kerby Miller
Tom Hayden's Irish on the Inside is the stuff of great awakenings-not merely for Irish-Americans but for the descendants of every immigrant who ever embraced the revolutionary ideals of justice and solidarity that are both Irish and American. -- John Nichols * Capital Times *
Reveals Tom Hayden as a dreamer and a rebel. Could any Irish person ask for a greater honour? -- Martin O Muilleoir
Tear down the lace curtain, dump the fruit and wake up, Joey. It's time to be something besides tired. This book is history over amnesia. -- Frank McCourt * Los Angeles Times Cover Review *
Stirs our complacency and forces us to rethink what being Irish is all about. -- Patricia Harty, Editor, Irish America
