Tom Hayden explores the losses wrought by Irish American conformism
Tom Hayden has been a leader of anti-war, civil rights, and environmental movements in America since the 1960s. A California State Senator for eighteen years, he was part of the US Commerce Department delegation to Northern Ireland in 1995, and has authored legislation to include the Famine in California's school curriculum. He is the author and editor of many books including Reunion: A Memoir and Irish Hunger.
Every Irish American (and everyone in Ireland, too) should read Tom
Hayden's brilliant and passionate book ... startlingly
refreshing.
*Kerby Miller*
Tom Hayden's Irish on the Inside is the stuff of great
awakenings-not merely for Irish-Americans but for the descendants
of every immigrant who ever embraced the revolutionary ideals of
justice and solidarity that are both Irish and American.
*Capital Times*
Reveals Tom Hayden as a dreamer and a rebel. Could any Irish person
ask for a greater honour?
*Martin O Muilleoir*
Tear down the lace curtain, dump the fruit and wake up, Joey. It's
time to be something besides tired. This book is history over
amnesia.
*Los Angeles Times Cover Review*
Stirs our complacency and forces us to rethink what being Irish is
all about.
*Patricia Harty, Editor, Irish America*
