audiobook Quetzalcoatl and the Irony of Empire: Myths and Prophecies in the Aztec Tradition; Revised Edition by Davíd Carrasco in History

Description

In St. Paul; where they were outnumbered by Germans immigrants; they nonetheless left a lasting legacy; so that today most Minnesotans think of St. Paul as an Irish town. As farmers and laborers; policemen and politicians; maids and seamstresses; their hard work helped to build the state. Wherever they settled; the Irish founded churches and community organizations; became active in politics; and held St. Patrick's Day parades; inviting all Minnesotans to become a little bit Irish. Author Ann Regan examines the history of these surprising contradictions; telling the diverse stories of the Irish in Minnesota.
