The "Scotch-Irish" Shibboleth Analyzed and Rejected

In this groundbreaking work, Joseph Smith challenges the myth of the 'Scotch-Irish' as a distinct ethnic group and exposes its roots in anti-Catholic and anti-Irish prejudice. Drawing upon his extensive research in Irish and American history, Smith shows how the 'Scotch-Irish' narrative has been used to justify discrimination and exclusion of Irish Catholics in the United States. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish-American history or the history of American racism.
