I think Irish Catholic communities retained a separateness because their religion was different from the older communities in the places they settled. They were usually the first catholic arrivals before later waves of other catholics like the Italians and Poles. In Liverpool it was a bit different they were outsiders in one sense because of their religion but they became insiders because they were absorbed into a new hybrid culture that had many Irish influences. |
