About this product
Product Information
Unprecedented in its scope, Rainbow's End provides a bold new analysis of the emergence, growth, and decline of six classic Irish-American political machines in New York, Jersey City, Chicago, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Albany. Combining the approaches of political economy and historical sociology, Erie examines a wide range of issues, including the relationship between city and state politics, the manner in which machines shaped ethnic and working-class politics, and the reasons why centralized party organizations failed to emerge in Boston and Philadelphia despite their large Irish populations. The book ends with a thorough discussion of the significance of machine politics for today's urban minorities.

Reviews
...a provocative reinterpretation of the rise and fall of the Irish bosses. . . there is [a] great deal to chew on in Mr. Erie's iconoclastic book. One after the other, he challenges views of the old machines that sentimentality has erected into verities.

Rock Top Bookshop ROCKS! They stand out among booksellers here on EBay because they actually COMMUNICATE ( rare), they didn’t try to price gouge me with outrageous shipping costs (rare), and they mailed it expeditiously (somewhat rare). I’d say it was da m n near perfect . Almost as perfect as actor Robert Conrad’s butt in this skin tight painted on pants he wore back in the day on TV’s Wild a Wild West. And ..well..In my book , Folks, that is about as good as it gets . Gracias Amigos!
