Class and Ethnicity: Irish Catholics in England, 1880-1939Fielding (politics and history, U. of Salford) challenges the assumption that the growing class consciousness of British workers in the late 19th and early 20th century subsumed the ethnic identity of Irish Catholics living and working in England. He focuses on Manchester's large Irish Catholic population to show how that persevering identity caused conflicts within the labor movement. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.
