If there was any consensus, it was that Jensen was and is wrong. I criticized his thesis in a footnote in my book, "The Irish Bridget." I found NINA ads in my research and many other scholars found them in their researchas well. Kerby Miller was always correct.

Agreed. Came across them in New Orleans newspaper and now with smarter
search engines more will be found. Wholesale blanket statements as Jensen
put forth rarely ever are correct.

Jensen's thesis is a "Consensus" view, only in the sense that he continues the Hofstadter/Hartz historiographical school that emphasized American exceptionalism and the lack of socio-economic conflict. But I'm pretty sure that isn't what he meant.

Bill is right--and Kerby heroically right. Jensen's is not a "consensus view" or even close.

HNN (History News Network) has picked up on the recent Journal of Social
History article rebutting Richard Jensen's article on discrimination against
the Irish.



http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/160147



Professor Jensen has replied to the young author on HNN - she is, according
to most accounts, a high school student. Members can judge the
appropriateness of Prof. Jensen tone in his response.



In his reply Jensen claims his view is a "consensus" among scholars and
cites "Adult historians" like Don MacRaild who agree with him. This does
not match up well with my recollections of the discussion here some time ago
or my own work.

Agreed, but cautioning us against chauvinistic mythologies was never

From: Patrick Maume
As a longstanding list member, I thought the list might be the place to
go for help on a particular Irish-American history issue which has arisen
for me.

I work for the Royal Irish Academy's DICTIONARY OF IRISH BIOGRAPHY and
have recently been asked to do the entry on Sean P Keating (1903-76), an
Old IRA man from Kanturk who was active in the United Counties Association
of New York, a founder and president of the New York Irish Institute which
raised funds for Irish-based cultural bodies.

He held various offices (including Deputy Mayor) under Mayors O'Dwyer,
Impellittieri and Wagner before being appointed Regional Supervisor of the
Postal Service by President Kennedy.

I thought some of the American-based members of the list might be able to
advise me on how to go about researching him, given that I am Irish-based.
For example:

Can anyone recommend biographies of Wagner or the other relevant mayors in
which Keating might feature? (I know Bill and Paul O'Dwyer both wrote
memoirs but I haven't checked them yet).

Keating's Wikipedia page cites an oral-history testimony he gave to
Columbia University. Does anyone know whether this material is available
in print or online anywhere? If not could I gain access to it by writing
to Columbia, and if so how should I go about this?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Patrick Maume

I've been looking at the scope of NINA in Australia, something I'd located
in my own state of South Australia last year. But the more national picture
of newspaper advertisements is interesting.

In New South Wales between 1839 and 1917, 52 advertisements
In Victoria between 1853 and 1890, 59
In South Australia between 1852 and 1938, 30
In Tasmania between 1838 and 1892, 11
In Western Australia there was only one.

Greetings, friends & associates ~

On behalf of a new contact of mine on another list ~

Most appreciated would be direction to any published work, or work in
development, on the subject of Jews in 18th-century Ireland; e.g., were
Jews active in the Dublin book trade; did contemporary gazetteers & other
extant urban directories include synagogues; to what extent, perhaps, were
Jews assimilated in Ireland's urban centers; did any of Dublin's
established writers, particularly Swift and his circle, maintain literary
or social ties with the city's Jewry?

Many thanks, indeed,

Many thanks to Kerby Miller for the prompt & helpful reply. (Kerby, we met
a few years ago at the 'Bloody Sunday' conference, NYU Ireland House, where
I also met Martin McGuinness and Trisha Ziff ~ Ziff was the curator of *Hidden
Lies*, her well received 'Bloody Sunday' photographic exhibition which I
reviewed for the *New Hibernia Review* [link, below] ~ memorable
intersections!). Very good, then, I shall forward those references of yours
to this new contact of mine, on another list. [More, just below.]

My contact is also wondering about *anti-Semitic bigotry, of any scale,
among modern-day Irish-Americans*. I, frankly, don't see much of this in my
own experience, nor detected it in my parents' generation; in my view, Jews
& Irish-Americans have gotten along rather well over the centuries ~ in
business, in politics, and socially. (Many mutual attributes!) Peter Quinn
mentions close *political* ties between Irish and Jews during the glory
days of Tammany Hall (Quinn's essay in *Making the Irish American*, eds
J.J. Lee & Marion R. Casey, 2006 ~ the text I selected for my Diaspora
class, NYU, 2007; Quinn also might have ment'd Al Smith & Belle Moskowitz,
as well as Robert Briscoe, the NY Jew who became lord-mayor of Dublin). But
there *has been* active anti-Jewish sentiment in many U.S. WASP enclaves,
for sure, including some 'elite' social clubs and certain colleges &
universities which 'quietly' maintained, for more years than we care to
say, an admissions quota on Jewish applications. Any views on that
particular perspective? Yes, still a sensitive subject.

Appreciatively,

Dear all,
So that old 1960s TV comedy series about an Irish and a Jewish tailor in
partnership in the East End of London, NEVER MIND THE QUALITY, FEEL THE
WIDTH might not have been so far removed from reality after all. (Joe
Lynch played the Irish tailor, I can't remember the name of the other lead
actor)
Best wishes,

Dear Colleagues,

I'm hoping to draw on the collective experience and networking
capabilities of this listserv in order to identify a cohort of potential
interviewees and gather existing sources in relation to my PhD research
Project which focuses on the experiences of the Irish involved in the
construction industry in London, since the Second World War. If you are -
or know - someone who emigrated to London in the decades following World
War Two, who worked in building or civil engineering and who would be
willing to have their recollections recorded and become part of this study

Dear Michael, I am sure you will know of the County Associations in G.B. I
recall addressing the Mayo Co. Assoc. in Manchester some years ago and there
were a good few there who would recall the "men who built Britian" - Ultan
Cowley's book which I sent on it rounds hereabouts in Tourmakeady and have
not seen it since! The Lydon family - John now recently deceased built a lot
around Finsbury Pk in the post war years- and the McNicholas' family from
N.Mayo also. All the best with the thesis. John McGurk.

Dear Colleagues,

I'm hoping to draw on the collective experience and networking
capabilities of this listserv in order to identify a cohort of potential
interviewees and gather existing sources in relation to my PhD research
Project which focuses on the experiences of the Irish involved in the
construction industry in London, since the Second World War. If you are -
or know - someone who emigrated to London in the decades following World
War Two, who worked in building or civil engineering and who would be
willing to have their recollections recorded and become part of this study
then please contact me either by e-mail on michael.mulvey.2012[at]mumail.ie
or telephone 00353-87-981-5385. If you want to know more about the
project, please visit our Facebook page at:
