The Non-Mask of the Red Death: A Deadly Necropolitics Hits Home

By Peter Laarman

…orian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz rightly points to the significance of the Scots-Irish Calvinist thread that unites the leading Indian killers and the most abusive slavers (e.g., the aforementioned Andrew Jackson, who was both) during the course of our bloody history. So where does this leave us? The preacher in me wants to insist that “love wins,” but the reader of history in me isn’t so sure. I don’t doubt that the current surge in necropolitics can b…

How Can You Exclude The NAACP and Liberal Protestants from Human Rights History?

By Austin Dacey

…ppearance of “human dignity” in national constitutions (beginning with the Irish constitution of 1937). But what was happening in the United States during this period? After all, San Francisco was where “human rights” entered 20th century political discourse after the adoption of the United Nations Charter with the backing of the U.S. and its allies. “Where is America in Human Rights History?” asks a critical commentary on Moyn by Gene Zubovich, w…

Sacred&Profane: The Living Dead

By Gary Laderman

…from an amalgamation of these traditions, carried over to the New World by Irish and English immigrants, and tied to autumnal celebrations and activities that would include ghost stories, harvesting rituals, and dressing up in costumes. By the early decades of the twentieth century, so these accounts claim, the holiday became primarily child’s play, and a secular, fun-filled, consumer-oriented, neighborly celebration where the dead were no longer…

What Pence and Kaine Reveal About Divides in Catholicism

By Patricia Miller

…ades. Both Pence and Kaine were raised in Midwest, middle-class, observant Irish-Catholic families. Pence started out as a Democrat, voting for Jimmy Carter in 1980, but like many other more conservative-minded Catholics switched alliances to the Republican Party, voting for Ronald Reagan in 1984. The Jesuit-educated Kaine, meanwhile, was attracted to Liberation Theology’s “blending of Catholicism and socialism,” influenced by his time volunteerin…

Call Me Pesach

By Peter Manseau

…ldren the stigma of their foreign tongue. I also met Jewish versions of my Irish immigrant grandmother who came to this country at age 21 and died with a brogue thick as stew 75 years later. In both the Catholic environment I came from and the Jewish one in which I worked, I saw the creators of distinctly urban American cultures, men and women with the Old World still in their bones, facing the challenges of keeping ancient traditions alive. “If Y…

By Timothy Gloege

…% of frequent church-going Trump-voters agreed. Similarly, 91% agree that “Irish, Italian, Jewish, and many other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should do the same without any special favors.” Have “Blacks…gotten less than they deserve” in the “past few years?” Nine out of ten say no. Asked whether “generations of slavery and discrimination have created conditions that make it difficult for blacks to work their way o…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…atus. It’s possible to see a young Asian American person in a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirt at a St. Patrick’s Day parade but not at a Juneteenth festival in one that says “Free-ish since 1865.” Again, the issues of race and slavery prevent this level of ethno-racial cosplay that we so frequently witness around White ethnic and patriotic celebrations in this nation. Not to mention the ever-present charge of cultural (mis)appropriation that’s leveled…

Reimagining Twentieth Century Harlem as a Jewish Mecca

By Jeffrey Gurock

…. I would have liked to integrate the Jewish story of that “greatest generation.” What’s your next book? I have begun work on a Bronx, New York neighborhood that was created in the 1940s and housed Jews, Italians and Irish, but excluded African Americans. Today it is home to black Americans, Latinos and immigrants from many parts of the world. I will look at the story of its ethnic and racial transformation over 80 years….

…e been and are currently shaped by patterns of immigration. The arrival of Irish Catholics in the nineteenth century had an enormous impact on neighborhoods, local politics, and church membership; today and in the future, Hispanic Catholics will make an impact on the life of the Church, ranging from an increase in bilingual services to intensified debates over undocumented immigrants. On the Protestant side, many denominations that were composed p…
