James Silas Rogers is the editor of New Hibernia Review and a past president of the American Conference for Irish Studies.

“In Irish-American Autobiography James Silas Rogers engages with more than a century of Irish-American nonfiction. Meticulously researched, intelligently orchestrated, and beautifully written, Rogers’s study—in its deep engagement with the many-sidedness of the Irish experience in the United States—brings into the spotlight the lives of many well and not-so-well-known men and women whose lives and writings allow us to understand the Irish diaspora more thoroughly. Some of his subjects are well-known—Jackie Gleason, Frank McCourt, and Michael Patrick McDonald—while others represent important acts of recovery. This is a wise, informative, excellent, and a vital contribution to both Irish and American Studies.” —Eamonn Wall, author of Writing the Irish West: Ecologies and Traditions.
