Abstract

This book describes the flowering of the Irish American community and the 1890s growth of a Gaelic public sphere in Philadelphia, a movement inspired by the cultural awakening in native Ireland, transplanted and acted upon in Philadelphia's robust Irish community. The Philadelphia Irish embraced this export of cultural nationalism, reveled in Gaelic symbols, and endorsed the Gaelic language, political nationalism, Celtic paramilitarism, Gaelic sport, and a broad ethnic culture. Using Jurgen Habermas's concept of a public sphere, the author reveals how the Irish constructed a plebian "counter" public of Gaelic meaning through various mechanisms of communication, the ethnic press, the meeting rooms of Irish societies, the consumption of circulating pamphlets, oratory, songs, ballads, poems, and conversation. Settled in working class neighborhoods of vast spatial separation in an industrial city, the Irish resisted a parochialism identified with neighborhood and instead extended themselves to construct a vibrant, culturally engaged network of Irish rebirth in Philadelphia, a public of Gaelic meaning.

Abstract

"Contemporary right-wing populist movements have propelled authoritarian leaders into power, championed reactionary forms of nationalism as solutions to economic and social crisis, and scapegoated vulnerable populations, leading to violence, harassment, and hate speech directed against immigrants, people of color, Muslims, Jews, LGBT people and other marginalized communities. The Perils of Populism gathers the writing of leading theorists and activists to explore how a feminist lens can help diagnose the global rise of populism and resist threats to democracy. It reflects on the roots of the current political crisis, shows how feminist and queer activists are challenging reactionary populism, and explores feminist visions of a more just, democratic future. Featuring interdisciplinary essays on the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and India, the volume contributes to a rapidly expanding literature on gender and the far right"--
