Retraces the steps of an incredible journey of a leader in exile that would resonate through Irish history for the rest of the century ... In June 1919 Eamon de Valera stowed away on a liner bound for New York and walked into the Waldorf-Astoria using the title 'President of Ireland'. He spent eighteen months billeted in the most expensive hotel in the world. From this luxurious base, de Valera criss-crossed America by plane, boat and train throughout 1919 and 1920, publicising his nation's plight and raising more than $5 million for the cause of Irish independence. While the War of Independence raged back home, de Valera was supporting the cause with packed engagements from Madison Square Garden to San Francisco including a total audience of over a million people. Along the way he underwent a harsh and unforgiving political education that better equipped him to dominate Irish politics for decades. Offering a unique take on a familiar figure, and containing fascinating new information and photographs, this book details an intriguing and largely unknown episode in the career of Ireland's most famous politician.

Unintended Consequences reveals how America’s door closed on legal Irish immigration in the 1960s, and how America’s Irish mounted a counterattack when nation-changing political forces were sweeping the country during the era of civil rights, political assassinations, and the Vietnam War. This book looks at the full historical background to Irish migration across the Atlantic, how it helped shape the young republic, and how the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 brought a near total halt to this westward flow. Nevertheless, the Irish would not be denied and continued to make the journey, no longer into the light of a full and legal American life, but rather into the shadows of an undocumented existence. Successive organisations championed the undocumented Irish, and the fight continues to this day, but this is a new America, where, in recent years, there has been growing hostility to immigrants of every nationality. Ray O’Hanlon has spent over three decades reporting on battles over comprehensive U.S. immigration reform, and Unintended Consequences is the story of the Irish past, its present, and most uncertain future in the ‘land of the free,’ now in the presidency of Joe Biden, a man who fully embraces his Irish immigrant family story. Through Biden, the great Irish of America story continues, and with renewed hope.

THE object of this book is to show the people of Ireland that in their struggle for independence they had the wholehearted sympathy and support of the vast majority of the great American people. This book was written by an Irish Republican for Irish Republicans. The facts set forth are put down solely to inform Irish Republicans of the blunders we made in the past so that their disastrous repetition may be avoided. A new situation has been created, but in any advance, methods similar to those adopted outside Ireland in the past may have to be adopted again. The new conditions in Ireland, however, require plans, methods, and leadership in accordance with Ireland’s actual status today.—Patrick McCartan

This new study offers unique insights into the variety of Irish American identities and nationalist ideologies as well as on the larger question of what it meant to be 'ethnic' in the U.S. during and after America's entry into World War 1. 'Reshaping' Atlantic Connections uses the mission of the American-born Irish leader Eamon de Valera to the U.S. from June 1919 to December 1920 to explore these questions. Dr. Cosi argues that on the basis of de Valera's American mission, neither Ireland nor Irish America can be understood as a separate entity. When the two are taken together, fresh insights emerge on the nature of diaspora, especially its political dimensions. Dr. Cosi thus offers a new and critical examination of de Valera's interplay with multiple Irish networks and circuits across the U.S. This goes well beyond the traditional focus of the Northeast and Midwest, and suggests a re-evaluation of Irish American ideological, political, and geographical borders, both internally and in its relations with Ireland. The study also presents valuable insights into how the Irish Free State achieved independence, and how a nation moving toward independence interacted with its diaspora. It offers a new understanding of the multilateral connections and interactions among the Irish at home and abroad in the critical years between 1917 and 1921. As a result of these years Irish America's ideological borders expanded to embrace a set of varied and composite identities both within the U.S. and across the Atlantic Ocean. Multiple identities and ideologies, formed and shaped in part by location, interacted with one another during de Valera's visit. The mission helped to reframe the relationships between Irish and Irish American nationalisms and demonstrated how Ireland's and Irish America's images of each other evolved and were crucially intertwined within a specific conceptualisation of the Irish claim to nationhood, in line with Wilsonian idealism and the principle of self-determination. 'Reshaping' Atlantic Connections in fact examines how these relationships were shaped and formed by previous missions of Irish nationalists to America and how de Valera's visit was built on - and in some cases departed from - this history. Dr. Cosi also examines the complex relationships between the Irish and Irish American nationalist movements. Although it focuses on the significance of de Valera's mission in re-shaping these.
