A History of Irish-canadians

Irish-Canadians are the fourth largest ethnic group in Canada with a population of four and half million or fourteen percent of the total population. The earliest recorded Irish presence in Canada was in 1537 when a group of fishermen form Cork sailed to Newfoundland. Many Irish, especially from Co. Waterford settled in Newfoundland in the early 1800s, from 1820 Irish began arriving throughout Canada, between 1825 and 1845, 60% of all immigrants to Canada were Irish. Irish immigration peaked during and after the Great Irish Famine, a great number settling in the provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The majority arrived in Grosse Isle (in present day Quebec) on which was situated the immigration reception station, many destitute Irish shored up here because the fare was much cheaper to Canada than America. From Grosse Isle most survivors were moved on to Montreal with orphaned children been adopted by Quebec families. These children kept their Irish surnames and a common Catholic religion also allowed Irish immigrants to intermarry with French Canadians, one estimate suggests that as many as 30 percent of the French-speaking Quebeckers have some Irish ancestry. A sizeable proportion of the Irish immigrants settled in both urban and rural areas of Quebec, Montreal and rural areas in Western Canada. The Great Irish Famine had a large impact on Ontario, boatloads of destitute immigrants arrived in desperate circumstances from Quebec to Toronto and Kingston. There was an economic boom in the following years allowing men to obtain employment on the growing rail network, in the construction and logging industries.

Here for the first time acclaimed historian John Belchem offers a ground-breaking and extensive social history of the elements of the Irish diaspora that stayed in Liverpool, enriching the city’s cultural mix rather than continuing on their journey.

American Catholic $14.99 "A cracking good story with a wonderful cast of rogues, ruffians and some remarkably holy and sensible people."       --Los Angeles Times Book Review Before the potato famine ravaged Ireland in the 1840s, the Roman Catholic Church was barely a thread in the American cloth. Twenty years later, New York City was home to more Irish Catholics than Dublin. Today, the United States boasts some sixty million members of the Catholic Church, which has become one of this country's most influential cultural forces. In American Catholic: The Saints and Sinners Who Built America's Most Powerful Church, Charles R. Morris recounts the rich story of the rise of the Catholic Church in America, bringing to life the personalities that transformed an urban Irish subculture into a dominant presence nationwide. Here are the stories of rogues and ruffians, heroes and martyrs--from Dorothy Day, a convert from Greenwich Village Marxism who opened shelters for thousands, to Cardinal William O'Connell, who ran the Church in Boston from a Renaissance palazzo, complete with golf course. Morris also reveals the Church's continuing struggle to come to terms with secular, pluralist America and the theological, sexual, authority, and gender issues that keep tearing it apart. As comprehensive as it is provocative, American Catholic is a tour de force, a fascinating cultural history that will engage and inform both Catholics and non-Catholics alike. "The best one-volume history of the last hundred years of American Catholicism that it has ever been my pleasure to read.  What's appealing in this remarkable book is its delicate sense of balance and its soundly grounded judgments." --Andrew Greeley From the Trade Paperback edition.

Irish Impressions $12.95 Written at the defining moment when Ireland was heading toward complete national independence, Chesterton's study of the Irish question demonstrates that if both the English and the Irish had modified their attitudes slightly, subsequent Anglo-Irish relations could have been radically improved. Unlike most historians, he tackles the question from an ideological, philosophical, and religious standpoint. As a Roman Catholic and a lover of English nationalism, Chesterton shared many sentiments with the Irish. Written objectively and frankly, this is an important work for any student of English/Irish history as well as an excellent study of the effects of ideology and religion on society.
