Irish Stereotypes in Vaudeville, 1865-1905 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781137482648)

Vaudeville is often viewed as the source of some of the crude stereotypes that positioned the Irish immigrant in America as the antithesis of native-born American citizens. Using primary archival material, Mooney argues that the vaudeville stage was an important venue in which an Irish-American identity was constructed, negotiated, and refined.
